Troupes:

Hareem Shar'eem-

Hareem Shar'eem has been performing in Northeastern Ohio since 2001. They have showcased various styles of middle eastern dance including tribal, cabaret, Rom, Goth, burlesque, and fusion. The troupe utilizes facets of many other dance styles in their choreographies, including jazz, hip hop, modern dance, ballet, ballroom, Asian traditional dance, bharata natyam and flamenco, creating an innovative and original repertoire within which they can explore middle eastern dance. While each member has her own preference in dance style, the troupe remains dedicated to engaging in the evolution of the art while maintaining the foundations of a profound dance form which celebrates femininity in all its forms.

Wicked Gypsy-

Members of Hareem Shar'eem, Gypsy Soul, and the Navel Academy got together to form this wonderfully large troupe. As well as dancing many styles of belly dance, this group also dances with fire props.

The Shuvani Jezebels-

Under the direction of Jezebel Shuvani, the appropriately named Shuvani Jezebels have been together since the early months of 2007. They started out as a rag-tag group of dancers from a local SCA branch and after having performed together time and time again, they wanted more. Breaking away from the SCA (but by no means saying goodbye!) the troupe began to branch out and discover new areas of belly dance. Dancing in the styles of traditional tribal, modern tribal, gypsy, many different fusions, and of course improv, this troupe loves to bring drama and creativity to their audiences.

Maevyn-

The idea for this “super-troupe” (as some call it), was born on a very long road trip to Indiana. A few of the ladies of Shuvani Dance Studio started to brain storm... Maevyn was born to be out of the box, fun, and provide a challenge for all of the different dancers who attend classes at Shuvani Dance Studio. The troupe is open to join, all you need to do is sign up for it and be prepared for a challenge! All members of Maevyn learn a full choreography in one class session, and are ready to perform it in two or less!

Gypsy Sirens-

The Gypsy Sirens are the newest troupe to form in Shuvani Dance Studio. They are a beginner-intermediate dance troupe under the creative direction of Nadeau. Dancing in the styles of Gypsy, Tribal, Gothic, and Bollywood, this troupe is currently open for any “begintermediate” student seeking a troupe.
