 Join us for an unparalleled three-day celebration of Arabic music and dance, featuring top musicians and dancers from across the U.S. Enjoy live performances, immersive workshops, and engaging discussions with renowned artists.

October 3, 4 & 5 2024

What is GoLive!?

It’s not a typical weekend workshop, or three-day festival - we are bringing some of the best musicians who specialize in Arabic music from across the United States together with dancers who love that music, for three days of movement, live music and learning opportunities.

See what’s in store for this not-to-be-missed weekend as we put the focus on live music and improvisation - and why they are important. Three days of performance, workshops and discussion featuring guest artists Michael Ibrahim, Georges Lammam, Susu Pampanin, Amina Goodyear, Isaac Lopez, Cassandra Shore, Roxxanne Shelaby, Bahaia, Debbie Smith, Karen Barbee, and more. Dancers who attended GoLive! 2023 are still talking about it - so don't miss out this year!
