Roxanne Shelaby performs throughout Southern California bringing her unique dance style combining her Lebanese heritage and affinity for Egyptian style. Roxanne is fortunate to have grown up surrounded by Middle Eastern Arts. Her love of Middle Eastern music and dance flourished as a child, growing up at the family owned "Fez" and "Cascades" nightclubs. She began performing at the age of 16 at the request of Farida Fahmy (lead dancer of the national dance troupe of Egypt) to represent the Reda Troupe. Roxanne has studied extensively with master teacher and choreographer Sahra as well as with Farida Fahmy, Mahmoud Reda, Aida Nour and Fifi Abdo. Roxanne performed with and was Assistant Director of Sahra's "Ya Amar! Middle Eastern Dance Company" for 11 years. She appeared with the group in many Souther California performances including: "The Nations of San Diego International Dance Festival", "The Second International Conference on Middle Eastern Dance", "Sahra and Ya Amar! present Al Dunia" live in concert, "RA - the Eclipse of the Sun", "Journey Through Egypt". Roxanne also accompanied Ya Amar! to Tokyo, Japan in 1999 performing a featured solo in two sold out theater performances. Roxanne produces "Hypzotica", a monthly Middle Eastern Dance showcase with live Arabic music in a traditional setting.
