About Tamalyn Dallal

Tamalyn Dallal began her bellydance career in 1976. She toured South America, dancing for Arab communities throughout the continent from 1984-1986, then founded and directed the Mid Eastern Dance Exchange, a non profit organization, dance school and performing company in Miami Beach. It ran from 1990- 2007, where she taught and mentored many dancers who became well known and formed careers of their own. Hundreds also studied for the sheer joy of dance and its benefits for body mind and spirit. She organized the Orientalia International dance festival in Miami Beach for 14 years, having brought such luminary artists as Pasha Umer (Xinjiang, China), Helene Eriksen, Karim Magi, Mohammed Shahin, Ahmet Luleci, Amir Thaleb and Saida (Argentina), Bellyqueen (NYC), Kaeshi, Chai, Amar Garcia, Amel Tafsout, Dondi Dahlin, Nora, and Louchia. The festival was subsequently produced in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Hong Kong and Zanzibar. She created numerous theatrical productions in Miami, and later in Shanghai, China.

Ms. Dallal has performed and/or taught in 44 countries and was one of the original "Bellydance Superstars.” She has written four books, produced two music CD's of Africa's oldest band, the "Ikhwan Safaa Musical Club of Zanzibar", and filmed ethnological dance documentaries; "Zanzibar Dance, Trance and Devotion" was completed in 2011. Ms. Dallal released "Ethiopia Dances for Joy" in 2013.
Every year, from 2003 until Covid-19 caused her dancing to move online, Tamalyn traveled to Asia to teach and dance for extended periods. She taught a month long workshop in Shanghai, China every year for ten years and has taught regularly in Japan, Thailand, and Indonesia, as well as periodically in Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and South Korea.
She now lives in New Orleans, Louisiana, where she teaches classes on Zoom and weekly in person classes, as well as out of town workshops. Tamalyn is currently in the process of writing a script for an animated film.
