| Belly dance or Raqs Sharki (Eastern dance) is one of the oldest documented dance forms. This art form has a long history as a social dance as well as a dance performed by professional entertainers. Middle Eastern dance uses natural movements of the hips and the torso to fluidly interpret music. It is typically an improvisational dance that freely expresses an individual's interpretation of music. Laila has taught and performed Middle Eastern dance throughout the Philadelphia area. She will be relocating to Kansas City, Missouri this summer. |
