"Everything in the Universe has Rhythm. Everything Dances." - Maya Angelou
Sabriye Tekbilek is a performer and instructor of Middle Eastern dance whose stage presence and technique have been shaped by a lifetime of international performance and study.
Daughter of renowned Turkish musician, "Haci" Ahmet Tekbilek, and Lisa Djeylan, pioneer of Belly Dance in Sweden, Sabriye was born into an environment of music and dance. As a child and young adult Sabriye studied many dance forms, including Middle Eastern Dance, Ballet and Flamenco.
While attending the University of California in Berkeley, she began taking classes with the internationally renowned Suhaila Salimpour, and quickly became a member of the Suhaila Dance Company and Bal Anat. Sabriye was featured in the original run of Suhaila's stage show Sheherezade, as well as in DVDs for Bal Anat , the Suhaila Dance Company, and Suhaila's Bellydance Fitness Fusion series.
It was while studying with both Suhaila and Jamila Salimpour that Sabriye was encouraged to begin teaching, awakening a new passion for instruction. She is currently one of few authorized instructors of the Suhaila Salimpour Format. She holds Level 3 Certification in the Jamila Salimpour Format and Level 4 Certification in the Suhaila Salimpour Format.
In 2005 Sabriye based herself in the Middle East, where she has been touring and performing ever since. She has danced across the U.S., in Sweden, Norway, England, Turkey, Spain, Greece, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Syria, Morocco, Tunisia and India. She has performed at exclusive venues including the Nobel Prize Party, Warner Bros. Studios, the Miss India Competition; and she has opened for popular Arabic stars such as Ragheb Alama, Wadi Al Safy, Sbohi Tawfik and Wael Kfoury, and regularly performs globally for dignitaries.
During her travels Sabriye continues to explore the depths of Middle Eastern Dance and music through studying and teaching workshops along her way
