About this user

Aisha Ali began performing in the late 1960s for the Arab Student group as part of the UCLA International Festival. Born in the US, of Egyptian/Italian heritage, she was among the first handful of belly dancers in America at that time. Enamored by the traditional folk music and wanting to know more about the cultures, she began a series of field studies in 1971 traveling throughout the Middle East and North Africa to record music and make films of dances that were fast disappearing. The results of her collection have been published by the ARAF (American Research Arabic Folklore) label for more than 30 years. Aisha performs and conducts workshops throughout the world and has earned numerous awards for her contributions to the Middle East dance community.
