..Rafi'ah blends her fluid serpentine style with precise technique and a powerful stage presence. A celebrated instructor and performing artist for over 22 yrs, she combines an extensive background in the traditional movements of Oriental Dance with sprinklings of other dance forms. Her wealth of knowledge and experience coupled with a keen mind-body sensitivity allows her bring out the best in her students and to teach many levels and types of dancers. Her love for the music and dance of the Middle Eastern is infectious.Whether watching her perform or participating in her class, at some point you will feel connected to the magic and beauty of this ancient dance and the healing energies that it holds.
