Shalymar is devoted to originalty and passion embracing a hint of Oriental modernity and is known as a world class Bellydancer.

The allure of her style flows from perfection of movement and a superb repertoire as well as her enchanting elegance.

 With a background encompassing everything from ballet and jazz to hip hop and ballroom, she quickly danced her way into the upper echelons of the Oriental dance scene and the hearts of her audience. She has worked both as a soloist and as a dancer for the renowned Anjum Ensemble in Berlin and the Chillis dance company, which is directed by Azad Kaan. Shalymar is also setting new standards as an instructor for Hayal (www.hayal-orientalmoves.de), the Berlin-based studio she set up in 2007 in partnership with Amira Almaas..

 Constantly seeking to challenge herself in the field of dance, she has successfully completed teaching qualifications for ESTODA® (2006), jomdance® (2007) and Proved Move® (2008). Shalymar has been greatly influenced by prominent dance teachers such as Gauhara, Yasmin al Ghazali, Said el Amir, Beata and Horacio Cifuentes, Deva Matisa and Katharina Joumana. She is currently benefiting from the experience of the great Egyptian master Momo Kadous and American bellydance superstar Jillina as she develops into an internationally celebrated stage performer. It came as no surprise when Jillina cast Shalymar for her Bellydance Evolution show; they have since performed together in Germany, Hungary, Morocco, Taiwan, China, Italy and Czech Republic.

Part 2 of BDE is going all around the world in 2012 and is especially coming to Berlin, organised by Shalymar and her dance school Hayal.

Hopefully you come join Shalymar in of her shows or workshops soon!
