Fayzah is well-versed in various styles of bellydance,
but her focus and love is Tribal Fusion which she performs and teaches
in New York City. Fayzah's personal style is unique. Her dance is characterized
by a powerful fluidity and musicality, precise technique and muscle
control, smooth waves and crisp pops, hits, & isolations. Her deep
integration of diverse fusion dance elements produces an evocative,
graceful, and eloquent style.
In addition to her weekly Tribal Fusion classes and workshops on Tribal
Fusion technique, and fluidity, Fayzah has led her NYC troupe, the Aurea
Dancers (comprised of some of her students), in performances at dance
concerts and special events. The Aurea Dancers are featured in the “Tarot
Bellydance” DVD, on the World Dance NY label.
Fayzah’s choreographic works have a wide range of theatrical elements,
characters, & remarkable costuming. She expresses stories through
her dancing, and also taps into her own purity of expression. She explores
a broad vocabulary of various dance genres and skillfully blends together
many elements to create a unique Tribal Fusion style. She seeks to inspire
each of her students to find their own personal expression and way of
adopting a dance style.
In addition to Tribal Fusion bellydance, Fayzah has extensive experience
performing Folkloric and Cabaret bellydance & Electric Tribal-Fusion,
as well as her own innovation of Tango/Bellydance Fusion. Fayzah was
given the name "Chameleon" by her first teacher, Kathryn Ferguson,
for her ability to perform different styles effectively.
Fayzah is a lover of finger cymbals, and enjoys using them in her performances.
Her experience as a DJ, also lends to her
musicality.
Her travels in Egypt, have given Fayzah an added creative perspective,
and enhanced her cultural understanding and commitment to developing
her dance skills to meet the highest technical and aesthetical standards
of contemporary and traditional bellydance. This inspiration and uncompromising
commitment to quality in movement is the passion that Fayzah shares
generously in her classes and workshops.
Along with her thriving solo performance career, Fayzah has contributed
to productions by NYC creative collectives such as Bellyqueen, the Neville
Dance Theater and Venus Uprising. Her solo work is featured in the "Fantasy
Bellydance" DVD, “Tarot Bellydance” DVD (World Dance
New York), “Bellyqueen: The Bellydance Experience” DVD (Hollywood
Music Center), &
The “Memento Muerto” DVDs (NDT).
