Friends in US/Canada

Hi! I will be crossing the Atlantic this summer...plans are in the works for workshops and performances.

This message goes out particularly to dancers, teachers, studio owners, and enthusiasts in the Americas.

I will be visiting my home-base in New Jersey and New York to see friends and family.
I have also begun solidifying dates for teaching workshops and performances in various cities in August and early parts of September 2010.

If you are interested in having a workshop in your area, please don't hesitate to contact me.


For previous teaching tours, I have been:

-invited to local dance studios to teach workshop(s) as a special-event,
-on the teaching roster of a regional festival or congress
-hosted by individual teachers or larger organizations for seminar/workshops with hafla/performance events
-invited to be a part of cooperative performances, showcases, and or creative projects.


I understand that budget can limit the amount of over-seas teachers hosted by any one community, school, or organization, and there are SO MANY wonderful teachers on this side of the Atlantic, (in Europe and the Middle East) worth hosting in the Americas.

So, I just like to let you all know when I am planning to be IN the US, making travel arrangements a much easier matter.

If you are not so familiar with me, my background or teaching/performing, please take a look at my videos on

My website is in the process of Re-consturction, but an out-dated version is still up at:

If you are seriously interested in including me in your festival, or hosting a workshop in your area,
I will be happy to send you any information that may be helpful in you decision-making process.

I am able to send to you:
my biography/cv,
any references you may need,
and
a selection of workshop topics so we can start our brainstorming and planning process.

Thank you for your time and thank you for being connected through dance!
I hope to see you soon!

all the best,
greetings from Greece,
Athena Najat
