Mellilah's Belly Dance Bio
Mellilah, award winning Modern Egyptian style
belly dancer, performs and instructs throughout
the Greater Seattle Area and beyond. A true
entertainer, Mellilah’s enchanting and dynamic
performances keep audiences of all ages
entertained. Her shows are fun and dazzling,
leaving guests amused, at ease and wanting more!
Mellilah performs professionally as a soloist for
restaurants, corporate events and private parties
throughout the Puget Sound area, specializing in
Egyptian cabaret, cane, sword, veil, zills, fans and
singing belly grams, a classic singing telegram with
a twist! Additionally, she is the owner of New
Moon Dance Productions. Mellilah often dances
with a live Middle Eastern band, musicians and
other dancers and has been featured in many of
Seattle's restaurants and large-scale stage
productions. Mellilah won 1st Runner Up in the
Emerald Rain Professional Belly Dancer
Competition.
Mellilah is an intuitive and generous instructor with
a strong background in movement and fitness. She
teaches private lessons at your location and group
belly dance classes through the City of Bothell and
City of Mukilteo on Mondays and Wednesdays.
She has completed Hadia's Middle Eastern Teacher
Training Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3, Sahra
Saeeda's Cairo Style 1 & 2, and is a certified fitness
instructor with the Fitness Institute International of
Florida. Additionally, she has a B.S. in Education
and Minor in Music.
Mellilah is currently the volunteer coordinator, a
board member, and a company dancer of Middle
East Arts International (MEAI), a non profit
organization seeking to expand and build cross-
cultural ties and the personal growth of all
individuals via the support and promotion of
excellence in Middle East inspired music and
dance.
Mellilah's technique and style can be attributed to
her extensive training with some of the finest
international and national artists. Her most
influential instructors have been Hadia, Leila of
Cairo, Maleeha, Dahlia (my mentor and friend)
and most recently, Sahra Saeeda.
