Marhaban!
Welcome to home of Troupe Sabba Zimora, performers and students of the Arabic dance style Westerners commonly refer to as belly dance (otherwise known as raks sharki, dance orientale, Middle Eastern dance.) Sabba Zimora is a combination of Arabic and Hebrew meaning “eastern wind song of praise.” Appropriate for a group who studies Middle Eastern movement, raises each other’s spirits and promotes healthy living and a positive attitude toward one’s self.
Director, Brenda (Aiyana) had been involved with the belly dance culture in the Midwest for years, forming her own classes in 2002. The group hosts a yearly hafla (get together) which includes a dancer showcase and drum circle. They also perform at events and participate in regional dance competitions and workshops.
Available classes range from beginner to intermediate levels. Solo and group performances are available for booking. The dance style is largely Egyptian/American with some Tribal fusion influence.
