Karavans Dance Troupe has been performing for many years in the Puget Sound area at cultural festivals, community events and for educational enrichment programs. Their résumé covers everything from an Arabian horse fair to the U.S. premiere of two modern Egyptian plays to a reception hosted by the mayor of Seattle. In 1996 the troupe was selected by the King County Arts Commission to participate in their Performing Arts series. Annual events include the Folklife Festival, Cultural Crossroads and the Arab Festival, sponsored by the Arab Center of Washington. Karavans also offers workshops on the music, dance and costuming of the Arab world.
