Looking back at our long career: In May 2013 we performed in the Arab Music & Dance Showcase at the Northwest Folklife Festival, where we performed two sets – debke from Lebanon and three Egyptian-style dances. We will skip performing at the 2023 Northwest Folklife Festival so don’t look for us on the schedule.
