Kahraman
is an Egyptian Arabic word for Amber.
Amber within the cultures of North Africa and the Near East has long been treasured for its beauty and healing properties and within its golden translucence a record of the past is preserved.
Kahraman,
like Amber, strives to be a window to the past in the dynamic
present through its presentation of 
the dances of the Near East and North Africa. These Dances, like
Amber, when polished and placed in a contemporary setting delight
the eye, stir the emotions, and heal the heart.
Whether you wish to delight your eye with a performance or own its beauty with your body and soul through classes, Kahraman wishes you welcome, Ahlan wa Sahlan!
