Local Belly Dancers for Hire:
A’isha, Professional Belly Dancer
Originally from Romania, A’isha has explored many different types of dances before falling in love with belly dance in 2005. She has trained as a belly dancer with local US instructors (Zada Al Gaziyeh, Zaina, Melody Gabrielle, Asha Diana), international teachers (Randa Kamel, Luna of Cairo, Aleya of Cairo, Ozgen, Ahmed Hussien) and traveled extensively nationally to attend belly dancing workshops taught by well-regarded teachers in Middle Eastern dancing, such as Amani Jabril, Elena Lentini, Cassandra, and many others. Always looking to grow as a belly dancer A’isha still travels several times each year to study with master instructors in Oriental dance.
Before starting a solo career as a professional belly dancer for hire, she was part of the Lawrence-based troupe Raghsidad directed by Zada, with whom she performed for several years as a belly dancer at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival and the KC Fringe Festival.
She has been the producer of the monthly show 1001 Arabian Nights since June 2012. The show, hosted by the Uptown Arts Bar (Kansas City, MO) on the first Saturday of each month starting at 7 PM, is the longest-running belly dancing show in Kansas City. She has also directed the “Tales of the Desert” production for the 2014 KC Fringe Festival and she was the Co-Producer of the 2015 Heart of America Belly Dance Festival and Competition. She also performs regularly in local and national belly dance shows, fundraisers, art shows and private events.
During her training as a belly dancer, A’isha quickly realized it is much more than body movements. This dance is real, it belongs to a culture, performed by real people in their countries, in their homes, at parties or celebrations, and it’s done by everybody, men, women and children as their social dance. It has been enhanced and brought on a stage by pioneers of Oriental dance show business, such as Mahmoud Reda in Egypt, or Morocco in the US (and many others). Given its beauty and esthetics it’s no wonder that this art has spread quickly not only in the US and other Western countries, but on all continents.
