"I felt I was familiar with the movements; I had seen this dance before and thought it was as easy as it looked to the eye; believe me it wasn't easy at all, when I tried to follow them; they moved their body with such grace and agility; they must have been training all their lives" “Your performance was of a highly professional character. Very well organised and structured. A performance at the same time mesmerising and uplifting. It was a flexible programme that could fit in any ethnic-themed evening.” Organiser feedback from Rock the Bazaar charity fundraiser: Banat Eshorouk brought something else to the event, the audience really got involved and it created a memorable experience for them. I thank you personally for being punctual, friendly and committed. I've really appreciated your cooperativeness and kindness all through the organization process. I hope you all enjoyed the evening as much as I did.
