BIG EGYPTIAN DAY OUT 2026 Sunday July 12, 2026
10:30am – 4:30pm Intensive
6:15pm – 8:00pm Café Riche Recital
Presented by Jrisi Jusakos & The Hathor Dance Studio
Join us for the final B.E.D.O at the iconic Amera’s Palace, a truly special and unforgettable Live Arabic Music Intensive.
From morning through to evening, immerse yourself in the richness of authentic live Arabic music, performed on traditional instruments… not a synthesised sound in sight.
Bringing together a crème de la crème cast of master musicians, alongside the expert guidance of Jrisi Jusakos and Virginia Masri, this is a rare opportunity to deepen your connection to Raqs Sharqi in its most authentic form.
What makes B.E.D.O unique?
This intensive goes far beyond choreography and technique.
It gives dancers the essential tools to:
• Interpret live music with confidence and authenticity
• Understand what musicians look for in a dancer
• Develop cultural awareness and connection to the art form
• Dance with greater ease, musicality, and presence
SWEET SPOTLIGHT is back.......
A beloved highlight of the day, selected dancers (you can nominate yourself) will perform a solo live with the Sydney Arabic Music Ensemble, receiving feedback from a peer panel. A rare and invaluable experience.
Who is this for?
Intermediate and advanced dancers, as well as teachers, choreographers, performers, and dedicated students ready to elevate their artistry.
The day concludes with the elegant CAFÉ RICHE RECITAL
