Moroccan Chaabi with Esraa Warda, in collaboration with Cumbe Center for African and Diaspora Dance
An exclusive dance experience exploring one of North Africa’s popular traditional dances, Moroccan Chaabi. Chaabi means ‘of people’ and represents the culture, voice and spirit of the people. While this dance has some similarities to Middle Eastern belly dance movements like shimmying the hips and waist, Chaabi is decidedly African. Set to the sounds of live percussion, as is common with African-rooted dance traditions, Moroccan Chaabi is body positive, women-centered, improvisational and communal.
