About
Habeeba’s Dance Company was founded in 1986 by Habeeba Hobeika. It provides two main services: professional entertainment and authentic Egyptian belly dance (Raks Sharki) and folkloric dance teaching.
Entertainment Services
Entertainment services include professional ensemble and soloist performances. The company is also involved in collaborative volunteer and community services with an underlying goal of educating the public on Egyptian dance.
Community Services and Partnerships
The company supports non-profits, and arts and cultural organizations in educating the public in the arts and culture of Egypt by offering authentic Egyptian dance. We are excited to provide performances to festival organizations, and welcome being contacted by organizers – as we reach out to organizers to offer our entertainment services. We are enthusiastic to build partnerships with other professional, nonprofit and nonprofessional individuals and groups in the belly dance (Raks Sharki) and folklore world of music and dance.
Dance School
The dance school offers Egyptian belly dance and folkloric learning opportunities. It provides all levels from beginners to advanced and specialization. It also offers online dance classes and workshops. One-on-one classes in choreography and one-on-one online professional coaching are also available.
Ownership
In 2023 Habeeba Hobeika handed over the company to longstanding members of her dance ensemble. Habeeba continues as an artistic advisor. Current owners are keeping the vision of Habeeba’s Dance Company as developed by Habeeba.
