Aisa Lafour

Aisa is a passionate dance teacher and performer. She successfully completed the "World dance teacher" course in Rotterdam 2006 and is specialized in two types of dancing: Middle Eastern dance ( Bellydance) and Latin/Brazilian dance.

 

She was introduced to the Middle Eastern dance at the age of six by the world famous dancer Shahrazad from Germany. After taking private classes and seeing the amazing bellydance theatre shows of this wonderful dancer, Aisa was inspired to become a dancer. She experimented with a lot of other dance styles like: jazz, modern dance, dance expression, street dance, African dance, capoeira, salsa and Brazilian dances.

 

After graduating (2002) from the fashion academy, Amfi in Amsterdam, Aisa decided to dedicate her life to her greatest passion " Dancing". She studied two more years to become a dance teacher.

 

Belly dancing

As belly dance was the first dance she did in her life, Aisa never stopped taking classes. She took classes from: Shahrazad, Mahdy Emara, dr. prof. Hassan Khalil, Ana Saeda, Aziza, Zeina, Ossama and more.

Currently Aisa is a belly dance teacher and performer herself. 

 

As a solo artist she performs at festivals, theaters, television and parties, in Holland and abroad. Countries where she has performed and taught are: Spain, Belgium, England, Germany and Poland.

Together with two other dance colleagues Raniya and Leila, she founded the belly dance trio "Morgana" 

She is also a member of the Egyptian dance show group Baladi, lead by Mahdy Emara.

 

Brazilian dances

Aisa got in touch with her South American roots when she started dancing salsa at the age of 15. Later when she started to take Capoeira classes, she felt a very strong connection with the Brazilian culture. The first time she witnessed the dance Zouk, she fell in love with it. Years later when she lived in Brazil (2002/ 2003), she took her first real class of Zouk, Samba and Axe. It was also there that she started to teach children.

 

Aisa teaches Belly dance on a weekly base, in Amsterdam. Check for more information about time and locations at the web page: Classes.

 

 

She also works as a organizer / producer of dance and music festivals such as DANSI 2007 and Dansi Breathing Bijlmer 2006 (www.breathingbijlmer.nl)

 

Aisa is successful thanks to her love for dance and artistic expression.

She is known to dance ‘with heart and soul’, like her father told her: Dedication is everything!
