The Siren Dancers dance repertoire takes in a range of Middle Eastern dance, from the Egypytian traditional “Raks Sharqi” (bellydance), and Turkish style to folkloric styles, and fusion (blended with other dance forms). New troupe members will be selected, after training, based on talent, passion for dance, spirit of cooperation, eagerness to perform well, and availability.
After intensive training, the troupe members will present dance performances throughout the year, group and/or solo. The performances are designed to challenge & grow the dancers, and enchant the audiences.
We will encourage troupe members to develop their dance & performance skills by providing group & private instructions, workshops, rehearsals, as well as performance opportunities at our Nyack, Hoboken and Englewood NJ locations.
