Latin & Belly Dance

 Dancer - Choreographer - Instructor

Professional dancer | Self-entrepreneur and cultural mediator at Place des Arts in Montreal, Soraya is recognized for her professionalism, her radiant and energizing personality and her eclecticism.

She has been offering since 2011, at the international level and since obtaining her permanent residence in 2019 at the Canadian level, performances, workshops and dance animations in private and public events as well as in dance national and international dance festivals.

She had the opportunity to produce on various stages ( Africa, Asia, Europe, North America...)

In love with dance since she was a little girl ( raised in an oriental culture, she loved to reproduce all her mom s and aunts dance movements during family gatherings.. before getting inspired later by the egyptian dancers movie stars like Neima Akef, Tahia Carioca, Samia Gamal, Fifi Abdo, Dina…)

She started taking local bellydance classes in Morocco in 2007 and discovered latin dance classes in 2009.

She was scouted by casting directors and made numerous appearances in major Hollywood, Bollywood and French productions. 

In 2015, she decided to give up her career in law, take her backpack and travel to combine and share her 2 passions which are traveling and exploring different cultures… and taking her dance to a professional level through workshops and performances and grow her dance knowledge with internationally renowned artists.

Like her artistic eclecticism (painting, music, ...), she likes to merge dances and enhance her style by punctuating it with borrowed movements (afro, belly dance, rumba, salsa, flamenco, reggaeton, brazilian samba…)

According to her, the musicality is the basis of the dance : Moving the body without being connected to the music is a body in motion, it can be beautiful... but moving the body while interpreting the music and becoming an instrument of the music is dancing... and is the magic tool of being a good dancer.

Arrived in Canada in 2015, she had to wait a long time for the formalisation of her status to finally be able to live fully of her passion and especially, to share it with you.
