Arabesque Academy Student Troupe

Arabesque Academy opened its doors 26 years ago in August 1987. Many artistic ventures have been inspired since then such as Rakisaat Arabesque, Yasmina Dance Troupe , El Amel Troupe, Oasis Troupe, Grupo Amazon, Arabesque Dance Company, Arabesque Orchestra, Righteous Rogues, Allspice and Earthshakers, Arabesque Drummers and the Bellydance Dumbek Brigade. In all these years there has never been an official school troupe representing the dance students...until now.

The Arabesque Academy Student Troupe directed by Yasmina Ramzy, will represent high quality creative dance interpretation in Bellydance, a variety of Middle East Folklores and Fusion styles. The troupe will meet to train and rehearse once a week at a regular time beginning October 2013. AAST will be presented regularly at various events and venues to promote the Academy's vision to the general public.
