Thank you to this amazing community and everyone who joined us for this special evening. It is such an honor to bring Bal Anat to life.

Thank you for the wonderful photos ❤️

I am deeply honored that Al Zaman (The Era), to be presented April 26, 2025 at Yoshi’s Oakland, is featured in Dance Magazine’s “The Shows Our Contributors Can’t Wait to See” for the 2025/2026 season ♥️
Al Zaman brings together live Arabic music, storytelling, and performance to explore memory, heritage, and history. Deep gratitude to Dance Magazine, to my musical collaborator Fadi Islambouli, and to the Gerbode Foundation for helping bring this vision to life on such a historic stage.
