is a fusion of many dance styles rich in culture and beauty that attracts students of all ages, sex and body types. It is an expressive dance form which emcompasses one's body. mind and soul through movement and music.

As students of this graceful dance, we learn to open our minds and hearts to embrace its true beauty and diversity. Through every movement, we take one step closer to developing a unique dance style so making it your "own" while enhancing our self esteem and self-confidence yet enjoying such a freedom and self empowerment.

Black Orchid Danse Promotions was created to broaden the art and experiences of Middle Eastern Dance through the promotion of diversely dynamic workshops and performances within a uniquely diverse community.

Saamiyah, founder of Black Orchid Danse, would like to thank all of her teachers, former and present, the professional artists under which she has studied and the many, many friends met throughout her travels for the love of this dance. Without their undaunting support, guidance and teachings none of this would be possible.
