Al Tannoura

Heritance Dance Troupe

Al Tannoura is a captivating performance held at Wakalet El Ghoury in the historic Al Azhar district of central Cairo, Egypt. This traditional folk dance, rooted in the Sufi order, is primarily a male expression that evokes the essence of spiritual meditation. With origins often associated with the renowned Turkish spinning Dervishes, the dancers wear colorful long skirts that swirl elegantly as they move, creating a visual representation of their quest for divine connection and higher consciousness. The rhythmic music and intricate choreography serve as a bridge to a transcendent experience, inviting the audience to join in the exploration of spirituality and culture.
