Caracalla Dance Theatre, founded in 1968 by Abdel Halim Caracalla, stands as a cornerstone of Middle Eastern contemporary dance. Led in recent decades by the Caracalla family (Iván and Alissar Caracalla), the company blends modern technique with deep Arabic heritage to craft a distinctive Caracalla Dance Style. With a history spanning stages from the Kennedy Center to Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, the troupe maintains its Beirut roots at a venue and a thriving education network through the Caracalla Dance School.
