With this first event inaugurating the cultural activities of Kismet!
We are excited to begin this journey, starting from Turkey, a country that - I confess - enjoys a privileged position in our hearts and in our projects!
Our first guest is in fact Berrak Yedek: dancer and teacher of great experience and professionalism (we have summed up his resume in the previous post), which will guide us in an interesting analysis of belly dancing turkish style.
This not only through a workshop intensive dance, but also through a conference followed by an opportunity-friendly ...
It seems to us an excellent opportunity to share a pleasant evening in late spring, we present our association and the activities that we intend to develop in the near future, including even those not interested or do not experience this directly kind of dance.
For more information about terms and costs of participation, we invite you to contact us at kismet.ace @ gmail.com . you there!
