The Aswan Dancers is a performing dance company and sponsors regular dance, drum and rhythm classes plus special workshops and shows.


The Aswan Dancers, established in 1975 and a California tax exempt 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization since 1984 also sponsors The Giza Club, The Giza Awards and The Giza Film Festival.


If you already know of us, you will know that most of the work and donations have been provided by Amina Goodyear and Gregory Burke with more than a little help from their friends.


With thanks to generous previous donations, hard work and a hoarding tendency, we are undertaking the project of sourcing, attaining, transferring and preserving media (music, documentary film, classic movies and Middle Eastern Dance)

Included is the growing collection of books, photography and culturally important costumes and jewelry.


The immediate goal is the open sharing of information and display at future GIZA CLUB events.

The GIZA AWARDS review the best and most significant in Middle Eastern Dance on video, and give Awards to the most relevant and simply the best.

TheGIZA FILM FESTIVALS reflect the best in cinema from the Arabic World, examined from a cultural point of view by an active and vocal audience.

Please contact us if you are interested in volunteering or donating items of interest to one or more of these groups.


Our hope is to educate while entertaining and our aim is to keep traditional dance and music culturally vibrant and alive in this time of globalization (a glib term suited to information media and commerce) which has created a fusion of business and culture, making each indistinguishable from each other.
