Nisaa began her studies of Middle Eastern dance with several well-known dancers in Missouri and Illinois, including Nadia Alooma, Salwa (director of Aalim Dance Academy), and Diana Wolf (former director of Simone's Seventh Veil Dance Studio). Currently, Nisaa continues to attend master classes, seminars, and workshops with nationally/internationally-known dancers such as Farida Fahmy, Dr. Mo Geddawi, Morocco, Mahmoud Reda, Sahra Saeeda, Faten Salama, Yousry Sharif, and Nourhan Sharif, among others. Nisaa has performed extensively at St. Louis-area Middle Eastern dance events, cultural festivals, and Middle Eastern restaurants.
By continuing to offer quality instruction and outstanding performances, Nisaa presents Middle Eastern dance as a living, dynamic folk art and a window into the rich heritage of the peoples and cultures of the Middle East.
