Scarf Dance (Raks al Maharem):
Originally a flirtatious cafe dance, it took on a more patriotic meaning
when dancers started to use a red and a white scarf to support the
independence movement in the 1950's. After independence this became the
signature dance of the Tunisian National Troupe.
Raqs al Juzur: Dance from Tunisia
A characteristic of Tunisian dance is the horizontal forward and back
movement of the hips, reminiscent of the Twist of the 1960’s. The costume of
the dancers consists of a melia, a draped garment, which is held together by
two silver fibulas (the ancestor of the safety pin). The melia belongs to
the family of the most elementary kinds of clothing, in which a straight
swath of cloth without tailoring or seams is draped around the body, as for
example the Roman toga, the Indian sari or the Indonesian sarong. A
specialty of the islands of Kerkennah and Djerba is Raq al Juzur in which
the dancer, accompanied by the mizwid (bagpipe) and drums, balances a clay
pot on her head while she follows the beat of the drum with her hips. A wool
belt with large tassels at each side emphasizes the strong hip movements.
Men also perform this dance, often balancing high towers of heavy clay pots
on their heads. This dance has become a national symbol for Tunisia.

Mediterranean Center of
Contemporary Dance
Since January 8, 2007, any young dancer aspiring to obtain
further training and an internationally recognized diploma in
contemporary dance can do so in Tunis at the newly created
Mediterranean center for Mediterranean dance.
The center which is open to students from the Maghreb, the
Middle East and Africa , was initiated by the dynamic Tunisian
choreographer and dancer Sihem Belkhodja, with the support of
the French Cooperation Institute, as a way to foster South
-South artistic collaboration. It is the first school of its
kind both in Tunisia and on the African continent as a whole.
The center's two year training cycle which is provided by
qualified Tunisian and French teachers and artists, will consist
of both theoretical courses and practical sessions for would- be
dancers who already have an initial training in contemporary
dance, as well as notions in classical dance, modern jazz,
hip-hop, folklore etc.
Artists such as Pedro Pawels, Gilles Veriepe, Hela Fattoumi,
Abou Lagraa, and Salia Sanou are among the
dancers/choreographers who will lead the various workshops. The
center's most talented students will have an opportunity to
perform at the annual Carthage choreographic encounters, but
also throughout Tunisia , as well as abroad.

Week of European culture to take place in
Tunis, Bizerta and Kairouan
For the first time in Tunisia, the delegation of the European Union and the
embassies of its member states, in collaboration with Tunisia's Ministry of
culture and heritage preservation will organize the Week of European culture
from March 2 to 9, 2007.
This event which aims at strengthening cultural dialogue between Tunisia and
Europe will be launched in Tunis with a British dance and theatre show
dubbed “Street and break dance”. Other shows will feature the performances
by artists from Germany , Austria France, Spain , and Belgium .
The public will also be able to attend a performance by the Italian musical
duo Rinaldi-Chiavinato at the Center of Arab and Mediterranean music, at
Sidi Bou Said, as well as a Polish street show inspired from the authentic
story of one of the pioneers of Polish aviation.
On a lighter note, handicapped children and their parents, at the Bab
Saadoun hospital will be able to attend a comic show by the ‘cliniclowns', a
Dutch group specialized in laughter therapy. Similar shows and performances
will be given in Bizerta and Kairouan during the same period. Tunis,
