Aisha of Greece

Aisha is descended from Asia Minor, Turkey. She grew up in a family where the oriental stigma was rather intense. Her first music experience was from Anatolia and later on, Arabia. The latter was a major contributing factor to the establishment of her dancing identity. She started gymnastics at the age of 10, since her father was an athlete himself. Later, at the age of 14 she turned to a new field: dancing. She did ballet, modern and flamenco dance, gaining in that way all the necessary experience she needed to develop her exquisite style in Oriental Dance. She began as self-taught, with a heart full of love and passion for this enchanting art. The genes she inherited from her family were a determining element for her passionate temperament and her effortless grace.
Afterwards she traveled to Egypt where she was apprenticed to famous Egyptian dancers and dancing teachers like Raqia Hassan and Aida Nour. She also worked with Mohamed Sadek (former lead drummer of Fifi Abdo) growing thus richer in knowledge as far as her dancing style is concerned.
Moreover a very important part of Aisha' s work is belly dance teaching which started with passion since 2002 from Greece and later on in international level.
