AMANI
Amani recently moved to Eugene after living
in Osaka, Japan for more than ten years. She
now teaches the Egyptian style of belly
dancing in Eugene and continues to make
frequent trips back to Japan to perform and
teach. While living in Japan she taught and
performed regularly at weddings, events and
dinner shows and has also made various TV
appearances. Her extensive dance training
during her frequent trips in Egypt, where she
studied Raks Sharqi with such well-known
teachers as Raqia Hassan, Mahmoud Reda,
Aida Nour and Dina, can clearly be seen in
her dancing and teaching style. She creates a unique and fulfilling experience for her students by incorporating Egyptian folkdance into her Raqs Sharki classes. She is also part of Zeina Dancers together with Amira (currently residing in Osaka, Japan).
They perform together at events in Japan and the U.S. while also keeping busy with their costume business, Amrazhi Couture.
