The Art of Belly Dancing is as ancient as time,
SHAHRAVAR began studying and performing Middle-Eastern Dance styles in 1993.
The Image Eternal
Oh, lovers of the dance,
And you who worship music,
and living forms of sculpture
Or the painter's skill in art,
Cease with me an instant
From your labors in the studio,
In theater or in concert hall,
And let us listen for an interval
To the Eternal Music,
and inwardly behold the Perfect Image.
And then let us begin to move
To the silent drum beats
Of the Perfect Dance.
- Ruth St. Denis

as techniqe.
Also I am well researched in Flamenco, Zahmbra, Turkish & Rom"Gypsy" (Proper term is Rom or Roma), American
Tribal, Saudi Folk, Khallegy, Tunisian, Egyptian Cabaret and Lebanese Debke Line dances.
When I perform as soloist I am Improvising from the heart.
