SABURA
Of Syrian-Lebanese heritage, Sabura performs and teaches Middle Eastern dance throughout the western U.S. and Canada. She holds the national title "Bellydancer USA" for 2000 and 1996, and was chosen by audition for inclusion in the King County Arts Commission's Touring Arts Rosters for 2000 - 2002. In 2001, she became the first Middle Eastern dancer to receive a Performing Arts Award from the Seattle Arts Commission. In May of 2000, she won first place in a citywide talent contest held by Seattle's newsweekly, The Stranger. Sabura was the Performances Director for Seattle's Arab Festivals (co-sponsored by the Seattle Center/Festal and the Arab Center of Washington), as well as a co-founder and past president of Middle East Arts International, a nonprofit corporation sponsoring Middle Eastern dance and music concerts and workshops in Seattle. Sabura's dancing is a synergy of joyful energy, vibrant expression, and dazzling technique. She strives to create greater public awareness, appreciation and understanding of Middle Eastern dance, music and cultures. Sabura is available for solo performances to taped or live music, and can arrange group shows with multiple performers. She also teaches workshops and private lessons, and in her spare time, works as a family practice physician.
