Nabeela el Shalimar, Oriental Dance Artist and Professional Dance Educator, residing in Seattle, WA. Nabeela is considered by her fellow teachers as one of the most talented stage performers and instructors in our business, a rare performer who, when she walks onto the stage, totally “owns it” with absolute confidence, but not a bit of arrogance. Nabeela is also a talented writer, who writes from experience and knowledge bringing that wonderful sense of humor and passion for our dance art into her articles. Nabeela's unique styling is based predominately from "The Beledi School of Belly Dance" utilizing the J. Salimpour method of dance instruction.
