"Phenomenal liquidity. A true sea siren."
Oriental Dancer
Performing Artist...Instructor...Choreographer...Muse....
"The embodiment of sensuality. Her
veil captivates, her arms move like snakes and her presence makes her look 6 ft. tall." -Jawahir Bahia
Mesmerizing, elegant, dramatic, innovative, and always, a dedication to artistry.
Taking you into the essence of the music and the passions of her heart. Rafi'ah combines the grace and
sophistication of Egyptian dance with her unique brand of firey creativity.
Known
for her dynamic performances, exceptional fluidity, precise technique and masterful zill playing, Rafi'ah has
been a celebrated performing artist and instructor for over 22 years, continuing to be a featured performer at ethnic restaurants,
concerts and private events. Inspiring to students and professionals alike, she shares her love and expertise in ongoing weekly
classes, mentoring, private sessions, workshops and weekend retreats. Drawing from a rich background in other dance forms, Rafi'ah's innovative performances blend traditional
and classical bellydance with lyrical body lines, and sprinklings of Flamenco flavorings, East Indian mudras and dramatic
spins. Her versatility and gift for improvisation allow her to mold her dance to most any music or venue, dancing to live music as well.

"Rafi'ah translates music virtually to perfection by
molding to the music, feeling each phrase, combining the melodies and sharpness of the percussion. She conveys the music deeply.
Her ability to execute shape, dynamic hip isolation and then finish with a look of ultimate lightness and liquidity is a visual
treat."
