Raqs
(Group Dancee)
Group dance is akin to painting a vibrant, colourful picture using bodies. At the start, all dancers are like scattered puzzle pieces, each one unique, but then the music brings them together to create a masterpiece.
Dance is a conversation where everyone has something to say, and together, all speak a language only movement understands. This year at Encore 24, Jazba-e-Raqs will thrill spectators, witnessing a fiesta of euphoric performances
and creating magic for the audience.
