The Josephine Wise School of Dance, now the Josephine Wise Academy of Arabic Dance has existed since 1990.
It runs and promotes classes, workshops and performances throughout Great Britain and is dedicated to improving the standard and raising the profile of Arabic Dance in the West.
JWAAD dancers and teachers are a strong force in the dance world and are featured at many dance events and festivals.
JWAAD has run an annual Summer Residential Course every August since 1990. We also run a Teacher Training Diploma Course and now have qualified teachers all over Great Britain and parts of Europe. Lastly, Britain's Arabic Dance Festival 'FANTASIA', a sell out from the very first time, is run by JWAAD.
