Hello my dear dancers,
Im informing you that we need to make changes about dates and adress of our upcoming OFF 2026 Raqs Queen edition. Our beloved hotel Putnik Inn where we are holding our festival will be renovated on spring 2026, so we can not hold there the next edition...However, we are still on schedule, we changed date from 18-19 april to 25-26 april 2026, and moved our activities from New Belgrade part till the very center of Belgrade! All activities will be held in very center of the city:
Workshops and competition in beautiful space of La Variete Cabaret Belgrade, Address is Francuska 6.
Gala Show will be held on beautiful big stage of Deciji Kulturni Centar, address is Takovska 8, Belgrade.
Very soon will be opened registrations, we have amazing program on schedule, beautiful space for dancing, join us and feel these happy vibes together with us!
Nabila will give us completely shaabi madness! Everything you want to know about shaabi you will get in her workshops! So she will teach 2 ws, one Shaabi Cairo club style and second Shaabi for the stage, she will make comparations between this two kind of shaabi, but also the workshops are not fully connected, which means you can take only one, but if you want to have full picture and shaabi experience my recommendations is to take both!
Aaaaaand this is not all, on Sunday after workshops Nabila will hold a one hour lecture, about life and dance in Egypt, she will share her experiences as a dancer in Egypt with us. This lecture is very useful and completely free for our participants, so prepare the questions and don't miss this edition. Im so happy and proud!
All info will be published soon:
