Merhaba! I'm dancer/engineer Jennifer "Jensuya" Carpenter-Peak, and along with my Significant Drummer, Robert Peak, we are TarabRaqs Mid East Arts Education. With a focus on dance, music, and culture of the Near East region, we teach virtual online courses and in-person assemblies, masterclasses, workshops, shows, and arts residency programs for schools, colleges, universities, and events.
Founded in 2004 and hailing from Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, we have been featured twice in documentaries by U.S. Government-funded Middle East Broadcast Network (AlHurra and Elsaha), featured by the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC.org) at the 2012 National Convention, and headlined four consecutive years at the American Turkish Association (atadc.org) Turkish Festival (TurkishFestival.org) in Washington, D.C.
