Welcome! (In Egypt, they say "Ahlan Wasahlan.")
Tamalyn Dallal has dedicated her life to Raqs Sharqi (AKA “Bellydance.”) She dances it as a daily practice for health, healing, exercise and relaxation. This dance is a “miracle dance” that reduces stress, helps us appreciate and love Egyptian, Turkish and Levantine music and culture.
