Sabriye Tekbilek Workshops |
18-19 November 2018
We are so thrilled to be bringing Sabriye back to London for a weekend of workshops and lecture this November!
Sabriye Tekbilek is an international performer and instructor whose stage presence and technique have been shaped by a lifetime of international performance and study. She is the daughter of renowned Turkish musician, "Haci" Ahmet Tekbilek, and bellydancer Lisa Djeylan of the USA and Sweden. Trained by the famous Suhaila Salimpour, Sabriye is certified in level 5 of both the Suhaila and Jamila Formats.
In 2005 Sabriye based herself in the Middle East where she has since worked with Lebanese agent Toros Siranossian throughout the Gulf and North Africa. She notably spent a year in Cairo, where she shared the same stage as the Great Dina at the Grand Hotel Semiramis.
Sabriye has danced across the U.S.A., Sweden, Norway, England, Turkey, Spain, Greece, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Syria, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and India. She has performed at exclusive venues including the Nobel Prize Party, Warner Bros. Studios, the Miss India Competition; and she has shared the stage with popular Arabic stars such as Ragheb Alama, Wadi Al Safy, Sbohi Tawfik, Marwan Khoury, Wael Kfoury, Abdel Basset Hamouda, Saad, Mahmuod el Husseini, Houba and regularly performs globally for dignitaries.
Thanks to her many years of dancing for Arab audiences with live bands, she has a wealth of knowledge in the musical, cultural and artistic aspects of bellydance… on top of being a wonderful teacher with an immaculate technique!

Saturday 1-3pm Khaleeji Stylization

Saturday 4:30-7:30pm Entrance Choreography *Tales of the Sahara*
This choreography is a sassy modern entrance piece with splashes of khaleeji and saidi moves to reflect the music. Music off of Bellydance Superstars vol. 3. Please bring a veil.
Sunday 11-1pm Shaabi Choreography
What a way to start your day!
This upbeat choreography is a unique take on both Shaabi music and the Jamila Format and just goes to prove it's not what you do it's how you do it. The choreography is to Hakim's catchy Ya Yani Ya and the steps are all Jamila, earthy and sassy. How do you combine urban Cairo sound with steps from the matron of Tribal? Come and find out!
