Started in 2002, running for nearly 20 years, with some great adventures and invitations to dance at some fantastic events, the Mazazik Performance Group is open to regular dancers who want to enjoy the experience of dancing in a group, and developing confidence and dance skills through performance.

There are two levels:

Community (open to all)
Level 2 (by invite and monthly meetings)

Of course, Covid has put a stop to everything for the time being, but we will be dancing again at some stage in the future.  Whether it wil be at large events again, who knows.  Maybe not for the next few years, but I am hatching plans for some unusual projects.  Watch this space.....

​Take a look at some of the great times we've had.

TRIPS TO EGYPT

On one of my dance residentials to Luxor, we filmed this choreography on the streets of the West Bank, much to the amusement and with the support of the local people in the village.

​EUROPEALIA 2012 & 2013

pIt was just after the Egyptian revolution, when travel into and out of Egypt was difficult for tourists and Egyptians alike, that we were invited to Spain to represent Egypt.  Thankfully now, it is once again possible for Egyptian folklore troupes to represent their own country at folk dance festivals.   But it was an honour for us to fly their flag.

MANCHESTER DAY PARADE

An amazing event, with thousands on the streets of Manchester, which we've taken part in every year since 2016, always with a family friendly atmosphere with some of the kids (and occasionally partners) joining in.

Photo from the Mannchester Evening News June 2017 - spot the orange and purple of Mazazik in the bottom right hand corner.
The parade took place only a few weeks after the MEN bombing, and the streets were even more packed than previous years. 
​We were very proud to be part of such a show of solidarity.

And some other memories along the way .....
