I have uploaded some new videos and pictures for you all to view!  They are on the Solo Performance pictures page, and the Videos page here on my website.  The pictures are from my weekly performance at The Egyptian Cafe in Indianapolis, www.theegyptianindy.com, and were taken on June 6, 2008.  The videos are from a performance I did at The Egyptian Cafe in West Lafayette back in February 2008. 

I think it is important for people to see how this dance fits into a restaurant setting as well as a stage theatre context!  Therefore I have chosen to put both types of videos up to show my range of capabilites :)

Enjoy, and let me know what you think!

Karim Nagi

Breaking news!  I just signed the contract today at the John Waldron Arts Center for our next show, Mosaic III:  A Tapestry of Middle Eastern Dances! Unfortunately, Mohamed Shahin will be out of the country for this show.  Therefore, I have asked Karim Nagi to be our special guest artist!  www.turbotabla.com

 Karim will dancing in the show on August 30, and then teaching two workshops on August 31, both of which will take place at the Waldron, www.artlives.org.  Tickets can be purchased online ahead of time, or at the show.  There are only 200 available, so make sure and get yours early!

We will have the show poster and registraton flyer for the workshops done soon!  Most likely he will teach the dancer/drummer communication and finger cymbals workshops.  Here is a list that he offers:  www.turbotabla.com/study.  Any suggestions about what you would like offered please let me know!
