Vadalna is blessed to regularly work with some incredibly talented men and women. We would like to highlight several dancers that will be joining us in 2015 for our upcoming large-scale projects.

Anne Beal – Anabee

Anabee_I
Anabee has been studying Middle Eastern Dance for the past ten years, primarily from Jamileh out of Portland, Maine. Her dance is routed in traditional Arabic/Turkish style. She has spent the past five years bringing the ancient art of ‘Belly Dance’ to her community by both teaching classes and hosting a monthly dance event with live music and a variety of local performers. She has explored the history of the dance with numerous workshops from artists like Karim Nagi, Dr. Victoria Gray, Nourhan, Zafirah and Fusion Style with Zoe Jakes. Anabee is also a featured Belly Dancer once a month at the Middle East restaurant in Cambridge, MA. She has been a part of many local dance events, including large scale choreography as well as small venue settings all over New England. Wherever the performance, she always does her best to represent the art in its truest form.  www.bellydancingmaine.com
