Arabesque: Live

Step out of the cold and into a world of vibrant decadence and intoxicating warmth. Immerse yourself in the rich, sensory tapestry of Arabesque, a spectacular evening blending live Middle Eastern music, Bellydance, and exquisite food.

Prepare for an unforgettable journey for all your senses. You will be captivated by the ancient, soulful sounds of a live ensemble featuring the complex rhythms of authentic Middle Eastern drums, the haunting melodies of wind instruments like the ney flute, and the spirited strumming of traditional string instruments such as the oud and qanun.

A selection of Melbourne's best professional dancers will grace the stage, weaving mesmerizing tales through movement. They will guide you on a hypnotic journey, showcasing the rich history and diverse regional styles of Middle Eastern dance, from the majestic classical styles of Egypt to the vibrant folkloric traditions and modern interpretations from countries beyond. Each performance is a passionate display of artistry, elegance, and cultural storytelling.

This night is a celebration of life and movement. We invite you to lose yourself in the rhythms. Be sure to bring your dancing shoes—the energy on the dance floor will be irresistible as we encourage everyone to join in the spirit of the hafla (party).
