Aslahan

I began studying Middle Eastern Dance (Oriental Dance or "bellydance") in 1992 in Atlanta, GA, eventually coming to specialize in the Turkish style. Dancers that have influenced my style include Artemis Mourat, Eva Cernik, Dalia Carella, Amaya, and Rhea.

I've has been collaborating with my partner and drummer Benan since 2000. I believe nothing beats improvising to live music, and I've been lucky enough to work with some truly talented musicians. Massachusetts, and indeed New England, is blessed with a wealth of wonderful performers of Middle Eastern music and dance.

I teach dance lessons, and perform in clubs and restaurants in Cambridge, Newton, Arlington, and the rest of the greater Boston, MA area, and I am available to perform at faires, cultural events, theme parties, and other celebrations.
