We offer joyful, engaging, and culturally connected instruction grounded in Egyptian traditions. As students and practitioners of an Arab art form, we also promote charitable and cultural events that highlight the vivid humanity, beauty, warmth, and resilience of the Arab world.“Wadi” means “valley” in Arabic; the company name pays tribute to our location in the Willamette Valley. Just like the Nile Valley in Egypt, the Willamette Valley’s fertile soils have heavily shaped its population’s way of life. An elegant earthiness defines both our surroundings in Portland, Oregon and the essence of raqs sharqi."
