Bio
I am a 2nd generation Lebanese American who was brought up in the traditions of the Middle East. I was surrounded by Arabic music, dance and cultural gatherings throughout my childhood. My Uncle Ibrahim Farrah, the late great Middle Eastern dance guru was my hero and my mentor. I moved to NYC after completing my BS degree to study dance and ended up performing in The Ibrahim Farrah Near East Dance Group under his direction for three years. At the same time I earned my Masters Degree in Dance from NYU and immersed myself in other genres of dance. I have been teaching dance since 1978 in Schools that are lucky enough to have performing arts departments. I teach adult Belly Dance classes in the evenings when I am not choreographing and directing my ensemble. (Tarifa Salem Near East Dance Ensemble)
