Raqs Sharqi or Oriental Dance

Watching Souraya performing is a way to soothe the mind. A dancer and choreographer, Souraya started her career in 1975 with Lebanon Caracalla dance group. In 1984 she moves to Paris and founds the association of the Oriental Dance Center.

Souraya spent twelve years studying art therapy and the relation between the body and mind. She uses Oriental dance in her classes as a tool to experiment with the method of slowing down the movements which eventually puts the body and soul in harmony.
