Troupe Nambah was honored to perform at Menara for a private
birthday party for Elna, 65 years young, surrounded by her family,
friends, and co-workers. Troupe Nambah shared the evening's
entertainment with soloist, Maia, and the duet of Naiya & Numair.
The guests joined in in the festivities by dressing the part and quite a few
gave the performers a run for their money!

Following are some photos from the happy occasion:

The guest of honor, Elna, was inspired to move to the beat by the performers

Maia shows Elna's son, Charlie, how to move his hips.

Maia's Set:


Once her opening numbers were completed,
Maia chose guests to come up and get lessons


"Come on up...I'll show you how!"............."Uh oh, I think SHE'S gonna show ME how!"


"Maia says dance this way.... No thanks! I'm going to dance my own way!"


Maia and...King Strut??                                 Maia's one obedient student...
                                                            she followed all the instructions!

Troupe Nambah's Set:

Troupe Nambah performed an old favorite and 2 new numbers in the round.

...as wll as a very traditional cane dance

Open dancing brought out a lot
of creativity on the part of the guests

Bahira had to give away her cane to get this guest up to dance


.....and THIS guest brought her OWN cane!


Mandella's student did very well....


...but Bahira had a bit of competition to contend with !


Shiva got Charlie's father Chris, into the act.........Two blonds and a Red Fez

Naiya & Numair's Set:

A joyful and flirty duet, Naiya & Numair are lots of fun to watch:

Numair watches his wife from the side as Naiya solos
and performs a fantastic double veil routine.

Numair does floorwork with a sword on his head.

 

Troupe Nambah wishes Elna a Nambahliciously Happy Birthday
and gives a big THANK YOU to Charlie.
