"Two words describe her -- The Best! Cassandra's artistry, her presentations, her creativity, her precision, her passion, her technique, her authenticity, her dynamics -- she is simply the best of this generation's contemporary dancers. You owe it to yourself and to your art to take advantage of this opportunity to study with Cassandra. Regardless of your level or experience, you will benefit from a class with Cassandra. She is a supportive teacher: patient, challenging, but not intimidating. Watching her perform is a thrilling experience and one you will not soon forget." -Jean Courter |

Cassandra Shore (Artistic Director of Jawaahir Dance Company) has been involved in the study, performance, and production of dance of the Arabic- speaking world since 1975. She began her study and performance career in San Francisco, relocated to Minneapolis, and due to demand, opened The Cassandra School in 1978. She began research trips to North Africa and the eastern Mediterranean in 1981; that research continues, with invitations to teach and perform in Egypt. In order to fulfill her vision of placing the aesthetic of Middle Eastern dance on the theater stage to take its place with Western dance arts, she formed Jawaahir Dance Company in 1989. Cassandra is a pioneer in the development, education, and creative exploration in and about this dance form. |
