Each quarter DCTribal will feature a local artist on its web site to help foster the development of the Washington, D.C. tribal community. Enjoy!

Asharah

Asharah has been performing since the age of six as a dancer, figure skater, and singer. She has extensive experience in Turkish, Egyptian and American belly dance, and she is best known for her dramatic fusion of tribal, Turkish, and cabaret styles. Her technique, ability to interpret music, and finger cymbal playing skills have been noted and admired throughout the belly dance community and by her audiences.

She currently performs at the Shisha Lounge in Sterling, Virginia; she was also a member of the avant-garde troupe Martiya Possession and was a two year member of Raks Odalisque, Princeton University's Middle Eastern dance troupe. In addition, Asharah has performed as a soloist at many venues on the East Coast in Northern Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, and Manhattan, as well as at some of Washington, DC's largest nightclubs: Nation and the Black Cat. Asharah is also featured on the newly released Gothic Bellydance performance DVD, available through World Dance New York.

Asharah is not only an accomplished dancer, but also has a B.A. in Near Eastern Studies from Princeton University. Ever since her childhood, Asharah has had a profound interest in Middle Eastern arts and culture. She brings her love and understanding of the Middle East to her dance and to her audiences.
