Who
Ebony
Drawing on her background in competitive dance, Ebony brings her energetic style to raqs sharqi. She is attracted to belly dance by the medium’s dynamic combination of graceful and percussive movements.
Ebony's early dance influences include urban and electronic styles such as hip hop and house. She specializes in creating her own style of urban/electro fusion belly dance.
Ebony works with Sahara Tribal (http://www.saharadance.com/about/companies/saharatribal/) to create an urban style tribal fusion piece in addition to teaching Raqs Caravan West (http://www.saharadance.com/about/companies/raqscaravanwest/) hip hop tribal fusion.
