• Phase 2: Begins the week after the summer recital (week of July 18) — four weeks of rehearsals leading to the debut performance at Bellyqueen’s Arabic Night at The Secret Room in August.

What to bring: A straight (not hooked) wooden cane, roughly hip height with some weight. *We’ll organize a group trip during Week 2 to Home Depot on 23rd Street to purchase and customize wooden dowels for performance use.
