Susanna Belly Dancer from Queens, NY

Susanna is an evocative dancer, yet her interpretation of Middle Eastern dance is distinctive in its grace and sophistication. Watching her perform becomes about the ancient social dance. She carves an exotic space with the sensual lines of her torso and arms and the subtle inflection of hand and neck. The individual dancer becomes secondary to the movement. Classical Egyptian belly dance, as well as modern and eastern elements, contributes to the unique Susanna Dance style. She is highly skilled with the Shamadan, the cane and sword, as well as the veil, wings and fans. Susanna has performed for international audiences at the United Nations in New York, the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, and the Four Seasons in Boston, to name a few premier venues. In addition to providing entertainment for cultural, corporate, and private events, Ms. Shaul performs at concerts and festivals, often collaborating with celebrated musicians from the world of Arabic music. In 2008, she participated in the renowned, annual International Festival, which is hosted by the University of Hartford. Audiences of 20 and 2,000 have experienced her exquisite performances.
