Hi, raks enthusiasts! Just wanted to let everyone know that my troupe, Diva Soma will be hosting Rania this weekend for a workshop and show.

The workshop will be at UNOmaha's Fine Arts Theater, with registration beginning at 9 a.m. Cost is $70 at the door. Rania will teach a comparison/contrast between the Turkish & Egyptian styles in the morning and a drum solo choreography in the afternoon.

The show, "Casbah on the Prairie", will feature many of the workshop students and performances by Rania. It is at the Strauss Performing Arts Center, also on the UNOmaha campus at 7 p.m. Cost is $12/Adult, $9 ages 13-18, Free for children under 13.
