Featuring Besma!  She is an acclaimed N.W. dancer & was the "famous" Budawia’s protégé, who is from Jordan.

Budawia, was one of the “best dancers that I’ve seen perform. She was not a “cookie cutter” dancer. Dance was in her blood, she danced free style, as her mood & audience called for.  Besma has all of Budawea’s qualities plus her own style.  Don’t miss her show!  Not to mention that her Italian heritage has a lot to do with her emotions, fire and love for the dance.  Besma is also an instructor & owner of “Harem” (Broadway @ Roy), “Alluring accents for the home & body”.

Meanwhile:
I send out a quarterly newsletter, “Zaphara’s Dance News” that has upcoming classes,

Performance dates and other fun stuff to do.

I “chat it up”, sometimes throw in a little gossip , get on my soapbox and also include some of my favorite recipes.

Happy dancing!!
