Thank you to everyone who attended our recent FireWater events. We truly appreciate your support. We have another fantastic day and night of dance in London lined up for Saturday the 14th November – so please mark this date in your diary and watch this space for further details.

The well respected and International group Helm will be teaching a one off workshop in Middle Eastern Rhythms for both dancers and drummers. In the evening we will be joining forces with Helm and Dajjah to bring you another fabulous night of FireWater. Merging traditional and contemporary Live music, performances, the chance to dance to live music yourselves, and more... this is a night not to be missed!!!

Based in California, Helm is a major contributor to Middle Eastern music and a huge influence and inspiration to many great dancers around the world. Well known for their collaborations with dancers such as FatChanceBellyDance; Mira Betz, Rachel Brice, Zoe Jakes and Elizabeth Strong, Helm’s music provides a rich platform for expression for all to enjoy. www.helmmusic.com

Dajjah’s music is best described as “live mutations of Middle Eastern instruments with beats and bass and... feeling”. Seen previously at Tribalondon, Dajjah are renowned for bringing arab-beats/reeds & bass pressure for the discerning. www.dajjah.co.uk

To be placed on the priority list and be the first to receive workshop tickets and show details, please email: firewater.london@gmail.com
