Dance and Dine: With Syrian refugee Dancer Fadi Giha

Experience an evening of movement, storytelling, and authentic Syrian cuisine at our upcoming Dance and Dine Baytna event on 28th of Feb 2026.

This event is extra special because it brings our London-based queer refugee dancer, Fadi Giha, from Damascus, Syria, in addition to our Baytna Chef and founder, Nour Jarrouj, who will be providing the delicious Syrian buffet.

Event Highlights

Intimate Discussion with Fadi Giha: Hear firsthand from Fadi about his professional journey, from training at the Higher Institute of Dramatic Arts in Damascus to establishing his choreographic career in the UK as a refugee. He will share insights about his dance, journey in Syria and the UK, his mission to use dance to connect, and heal.
All-Abilities Movement Workshop: Following the discussion, Fadi will lead a movement session designed for all skill levels. This workshop draws from his expertise in contemporary dance and physical theatre, focusing on the emotional and fun connection with our bodies.
Syrian Open Buffet: To conclude the night, enjoy a rich spread of traditional Syrian dishes curated by Nour Jarrouj. Chef Nour is known for bringing the warmth of "Syrian table" to the UK table.
The Menu
Our authentic Syrian open buffet will feature:
Hummus: Creamy, traditional chickpea dip. (Vegan) (conatins: sesame)
Fattoush: A vibrant, toasted bread salad with fresh herbs. (Vegan)
Zaatar Croissants: Chef Nour’s signature twist on a Damascus bakery favorite. (Vegan) (contains gluten and sesame)
