Sword and Scarab is the only Middle Eastern Dance Troupe in Rochester that creates and utilizes its own choreography.  The choreography is rooted and reflected from specific traditional dances of the Middle East as well as non-traditional fusion styles.

 

Under the Artistic Direction of Kalilah & Kamira, Sword and Scarab is a Dance Troupe that performs a range of dances such as: Folkloric/Beledi (Raks Shaabi/Raks Baladi), American Tribal, Egyptian Oriental (Raks Sharqi), Turkish Oriental (Danse Tansi), African, Cane (Raks Assaya), Sword, Water Jug (Raks Balas), Candle (Pharonic), Veil, and Fusion style dances.  

On a Personal Note:  We believe this beautiful dance form should be presented with truth and clarity.

Sword and Scarab strives to create and keep a positive environment in which all dancers may come together.  We foster the spirit of friendship, humility and respect for each other. We encourage artistic ability with an open mind and heart for all.  For all those who come together, we wish them to have the ability to reach the greatest potential within themselves and in our communities.
