About Sabriye
Sabriye Tekbilek is an international performer and instructor of Middle Eastern dance 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 Lisa Djeylan, once an international bellydancer herself. Sabriye grew up in an environment of Middle Eastern Music and dance. As a child and young adult Sabriye studied many dance forms, including Flamenco, Ballet and Middle Eastern dance.
While attending the University of California at Berkeley, she began taking classes with renowned teacher Suhaila Salimpour and quickly became a member of the Suhaila Dance Company and Bal Anat. Sabriye was featured in the original run of Suhaila's stage show Sheherezade, as well as in DVDs for Bal Anat, the Suhaila Dance Company and Suhaila's Bellydance Fitness Fusion series.
It was while studying with both Suhaila and Jamila Salimpour that Sabriye was encouraged to begin teaching, awakening a passion for instruction. She is currently one of few the authorized instructors of the Suhaila Salimpour Format and holds the highest level of certification available in both Jamila and Suhaila Salimpour formats.
In 2005 Sabriye based herself in the Middle East where she has since worked with Lebanese agent Toros Siranossian through out the Gulf and North Africa. She spent one year in Cairo before the revolution working at the prestigious night club Haroun Al Rashid in the Semiramis Intercontinental Hotel along side the legendary Dina. She returned to Cairo in 2019 and has been based there since.
Sabriye has to date danced across the U.S., in 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.
During her travels Sabriye continues to explore the depths of Middle Eastern dance and music through studying and teaching workshops along her way.

Practical Details
Date:
Saturday/Sunday February 22/23
Schedule:
Saturday February 22
1:30-4:30pm Saidi with Tahtib SOLD OUT
This saucy Saidi choreography is with a Tahtib (thick stick rather than cane) usually used by men. The masculine wielding of the Tahtib will countered with feminine and earthy moves. During the class Sabriye will also go into some of the background of the Saidi genre as well as share and draw from her experiences on stage in Egypt. The choreography is intended as a group dance of an even number of dancers but can easily be adapted as a solo. The song is Ammouna Fi al Said by Amani and Bassam Yazbek.
*Bring your tahtib with you or you can organise to buy one at the workshop. Just message me in advance with request so we know how many to bring ;)*
6:30-8:30pm Performance Lab *Group 1*

11-3pm Iraqi/Egyptian Choreography to Mozza Massriya ONLY 2 PLACES LEFT!
Mozza Masriya is an Iraqi and Egyptian medley of a pop song sung by Amina and Mohammed al Salim. Just like the song combines Iraqi and Egyptian music styles the choreography combines Iraqi with Egyptian moves. From the Egyptian we will draw from playful Shaabi moves old and new. And from the Iraqi parts we will draw from modern Iraqi dance moves with their roots in folkloric traditions. A fun and spicy dance that can be done either as a group or solo. The workshop will begin with a brief lecture/discussion on Iraqi and Egyptian dance and music followed by a short technique overview used in the choreography
