About this Spotlight
The Qabila Dance company will be presenting a variety of dances from the SWANA (South West Asia and North Africa) region. Come celebrate dance and music and get the opportunity to join in throughout the performance to share the joy and diversity of Arabic folkdance.
Staged at the built-in amphitheater of the Salish Steps at the bottom of Overlook Walk, the series highlights talented artists and offers audiences a gateway to explore the diverse arts and culture scene of the region.
