York group with friend

Anybody who attends regular Mazazik classes or workshops is eligible to be part of the Performance Group.   

There are two levels of  participation.

COMMUNITY LEVEL - open to all
* Dance or animate (wear costume, create atmosphere, hand out flyers) in one major public event a year (such as the Manchester Day Parade) and the Mazazik Festival hafla.
* Build confidence, dance with a group, develop your dance.
* Technique and choreographies will be done in classes/workshops, with one compulsory rehearsal a year in early June.
* Events for 2019 are the Manchester Day Parade (23 June in Manchester), and Mazazik Festival Hafla (17 November in Manchester).

PERFORMANCE GROUP 2
* Dance in all the above, plus community events, haflas, filming projects.
* new choreographies will be taught through internet tutorials and polished in final rehearsals

Our work, our costumes, our repertoire has developed a lot since the early days.  Here are some photos which trace our journey.
