There is one unique element possessed by all true dancers, and that is an urgent feeling to align with the pure logic of movement. Something akin to physics, but with soul. When this alignment begins to happen, then the music, the memory, the audience, the emotions, and the body channel her into something visible. All these channels are things that can be learned with hard work and experience, but the alignment somehow happens as a gift.
Dance exists just as mathematics or physics exist.
The dancer spends her life training to embody those laws, to make them visible. The music chosen is one of the windows through which we peer. Eva comes to you to share her knowledge and experience of Middle Eastern dance. After extensive training in gymnastics and ballet, at the age of 19, Eva was first introduced to the dance by Anahid Sofian of New York whose Turkish style left a strong impression. Her other major teachers include Naila-Rose of Denver and Adnan Sarhan of Baghdad.
