Amani is a leading star dancer from Lebanon; she established a
new and inventive style that brought her to the legendary dance
icon standard
As of beginning of her career, Amani gained her reputation in
1992 as a different and far from the stream of regular dancers.
History and heritage were her main interest.
She searched deeply into the old Arabian history books for the
roots of her dance heritage.
Amani’s own dancing depends on a good understanding of
culture as a path to reach into the authentic world of dance.
“It would be quite impossible for any kind of dance to
evolve without going back into its origin and historical
development” Amani says.
•Amani presented a wide variety of folkloric and historical dance
scenes like the Lebanese Dabkeh dances, the Lebanese Bedouin
and the portrayal through the folkloric dance of different characters
in yesterday’s Lebanese woman .
Withal, Amani represented in a corporeal form many historical and
recent routines in a portrayal of woman of today stories through
beautiful dancing in an effort to introduce culture and education under
the logo of oriental dancing,
Still very anxious on preserving the Lebanese dance heritage and
purifying oriental dance from all the blemishes that distorted its
beautiful image, that urges her to invite dancers from all over the
world aiming on teaching the various Lebanese folkloric and oriental
dances’ basis on an academic basic at her yearly Dance Workshop
