Welcome

Thirty years ago, Pete Jacobs accompanied belly dance weekends for Suzanna Del Vecchio's  four day retreat in  Shadowcliff Center, and Rafi'ah Ruyah held a retreat in Grand Lake with Fellaheen Ensemble for a dozen years. 

Meanwhile Meg York was holding forth getting a Performance Degree at University of New Mexico, playing jazz regularly, Early Music and Theater Pit Orchestra, but then got HOOKED playing for dancers at SCA haflas, Balkan Dance parties with Svirka and Goddess of Arno,  Circus Luminous. She accompanied Flamenco Dance for Eva Encinias-Sandoval at University of New Mexico, and toured internationally with Symphonic Orchestras and Pablo Rodarte's Dance Espana.

 Meg and Pete had both been basking in the incredible Mendocino CA Middle Eastern Music and Dance Camps, Eastern European Folklife Center Camps and were playing dance music with Nabil Azzam, Yuval Ron,  Hal Aqua, Cameron Powers, Sherefe, and many, many others.

 This is our fourth year bringing Tarab to Colorado for Front Range Artists, their student and audiences.  Our previous venue is breathtaking -- the  1928 log Ponderosa Lodge and Southwest style Chapel on campus at the Historic Unity Conference Center at La Foret. 

Luckily we have incredible still photos from Diana Odem:   Check them out on this website: PHOTOS  

In this age of barriers, music and dance 

build bridges between the

past and the future by basking in the present:

Tarab is that magic moment of surrender to 

immersion of immersion 

We cannot demand Tarab occurs --

we can only hold space for ourselves, and let it unfold..

We'll do our best to share our events in an engaging way to lift everyone's spirits.
