I'm leading the annual pennsic guedra on the first thursday. here is the text from the book...
Subject(s): Dance Middle Eastern
Guedra-North African Trance Dance
Kharajin of Turku
Dance with chants. No dance experience necessary. 2-4 dancers inside a
circle of chanters. You don't have to do the dance, but you do have to
chant. About 1/2hour instruction, then any men present will be excused
while we perform the dance til exhaustion. Bring water and a veil.
8/2, 8pm at Middle-Eastern Tent
(We like to start at 8pm so everyone can see the instruction, but we have the privacy of dark thereafter. If you have already heard my Guedra babble, there is no need to show up till about 8:30.)
hope to see all you ladies there!
