ZAFIRA DAIMA

My passion is Middle Eastern dance, also known as belly dance or bellydance, or the correct Arabic term, "Raqs Sharqi", sometimes spelled "Raks Sharki". It started on a lark, September of 1996, my sister and a friend wanted to see Sheva's beginner class, and I tagged along. I've always been interested in belly dance having seen performances at the local International Bazaar as a 6-7 year old child. As soon as I saw the class, I knew it was for me, so I signed up for Sheva's class and Scheherezade's class!! Why take just one? Currently I am a member of the Jewels of the Oasis dance troupe. My dance bio contains more information about my dance background... On July 26, 2008, Zafira's Middle Eastern Belly Dance School held it's first annual student recital. We had 19 different performances. On August 22, 2009, our second annual student recital SOLD OUT! On August 7, 2010 we had our third annual student recital , it too sold out! Our fourth annual student recital was held on October 29,..
