Middle Eastern Dance to be Featured at Encintas Street Fair

Every year DEMA hosts a fine display of all things Encinitas along Coast Highway 101 with it’s bi-annual Street Fair. It’s a great opportunity to enjoy Encinitas and take advantage of free and affordable fun for the whole family. 

This year our local Middle Eastern belly dance community brings a collection of authentic and modern pieces of this ancient art form to the community stage.  Saturday’s performance from noon to 1 p.m. are Dilley’s Dance Studio featuring Fusion and American Tribal Style, while Sahar Sami’s Academy of Egyptian Dance brings classical Egyptian Oriental Dance to the stage. 

On Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. former Bellydance Superstar Jayna Manoushe graces the stage with Shalimar and Vasiliki and our well known local drummer Frank Lazarro and Cairo Beats. 

Both shows will close with folkloric Saidi cane danceperformances by me, Georgia Schmid, the current dance rep for the Commission for the Arts for the City of Encinitas.

This line up is sure to entertain, and is a great opportunity for any dance enthusiast to find their way into this vibrant dance community! The community stage is located in the Lumberyard near Ace Hardware with continuous music and dance performances from many of our local talents. 

Come out and see our Encinitas stars shine!  YALLA!
