You may have noticed that we changed the banner image... I am super bummed to announce that Aziza can't make due to restrictive international travel policies in Canada currently. It was too risky to wait and see so the Hot Raqs team and Aziza decided it would be best to book her for a future event. However, the silver lining is that VANESSA OF CAIRO Vanessa Raqs will now be joining us for Hot Raqs 2021!!! Welcome to the event Vanessa! We can't wait to bask in all your fabulousness!

Is it too pretty to eat? Yup! Am I still going to eat it? Yup! Thanks #thebreadbuzz #artisanbread #freshbread #whatsfordinner #familydinnernight

***SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITY!*** Do you know a dancer in our community that has been hit hard by 2020? Thanks to a generous sponsorship from our 2020 Professional Cabaret winner Angela Caron Suel (Angelina) we are able to gift a weekend pass to the Exclusive, VIP only Hot Raqs 2021 for a weekend of classes with Aziza & Karim Nagi, performance opportunity, a photoshoot, shows, and lots of fun!... How it works: Tag a dancer from your community that has been hit hard by 2020 to nominate them. Share the post so as many in our community are reached as possible.
