Who are the Legends and Pioneers of Middle Eastern Dance and Music (Performing) Arts?
It is with deep gratitude that I bring to you, my idea of a LEGEND in our industry; someone who has worked tirelessly to promote, nurture and love our art. These are the women and men who have paved the path for the rest of us to have the opportunities to perform and love our art. If not for these "Legends", Middle Eastern Performing Art as we know it, may very possibly not exist today.
They persisted at times of adversity, as well as great joy and even opportunity to build and educate new dancers and musicians as well as the general public, which is far more accepting and even loving towards this wonderful life companion - our art, our hobby and for many our profession, than our art has ever experienced.
Thank you to these remarkable "Legends" for their passionate embrace of our art and for bringing to us "the dance", "the music", my life partner - Middle Eastern Performing Art.
If you have information you would like to share with us about a "Legend", please contact me, Zaina Hart at zaina@zainahart.com.
