Inside look: Saudi Arabia! In March, we had the good fortune to perform at the UNESCO World Heritage site of Old Jeddah City, Saudi Arabia on Baeshen House. Dance transcends language and builds friendship, cultural diplomacy and empowers us to deconstruct walls and not create them. The annual festival celebrates Jeddah as a center of culture, literature, and Arabian & Islamic history, preserving the heritage, traditions, and cultural treasures of this ancient city located just outside of Mecca.
