Our Middle Eastern Belly Dance Instructor Welcomes World Renowned Dancer to San Jose

Against all odds, one man defied traditions, demystified taboos and redefined belly dance entertainment in Egypt and the whole world.   The Hala Dance Company is proud to bring you this master dancer, teacher & choreographer, Tito of Egypt, to teach and perform in San Jose and Redwood City! A wonderful and rare opportunity to study and dance with an international icon!

Tito of Egypt, the world’s most famous male belly dance artist, performs in ONE SHOW ONLY on Sat Oct 9 in Redwood City 7:30 - 9:30pm at the Veterans Memorial Theater.  Details on http://www.HalaDance.com.

Tito is the only dancer in the world who performs the “Asaya” dance with four canes.  His innovation of dancing on the “Tabla” (Arabic drum) has become a worldwide phenomenon in belly dance.  He’s continually reinventing himself as well as the art of belly dance.

Tito will teach his unique dance style in 3-day workshops in San Jose & Redwood City on Oct 8, 9 & 10.  Open to all levels of dancers.
