The Dance Chamber
Ms. Maha Rouabhia Founder of the Dance Chamber Instructor of Belly Dance, Salsa, Hip Hop & Expressions Image Loading E-mail: maha@dancechamber.com
Growing up in an Arabic family that opportune occasions of Belly Dancing during gatherings spurred her desire to transfer this passion for Belly Dancing to others. Her other passion, Latin dancing, came to rise in 1997, where she partnered with well known local Montreal (Canada) dancers during her residence there. Maha performed in several shows and guided the instruction of dancers from 2001 to present. She also made several appearances on T.V. and the wide-screen in Canada & the U.S. While earning degrees in Marketing & Management and then English Literature from McGill University then Concordia University. During her course of studies she ensured taking electives in Modern Dance, Ballet Jazz, Ballet, Hip Hop, and of course, Ballroom Dancing and Salsa. Her full time job as a flight attendant with Air Canada provided her with the opportunity to travel the world, even when she had a layover of a mere 24 hours; she always managed to hunt a local salsa club to increase her variety of dance experiences through different regions. It is there that she discovered that the least likely places like Osaka (Japan), Mainz (Germany), Paris (France), Tel Aviv (Israel), housed a generous number of fantastic Salsa dancers! And of course, Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver (Canada) and several cities in the U.S. (L.A., N.Y. Miami and Houston) and now Cyprus has contributed to her experience in Salsa dancing. Being fluent in 5 languages (English, Arabic, French, Spanish and Greek) gives her multicultural students an advantage by learning to dance without language barriers. Maha lived in Syria, Algeria, U.S., and Canada these countries gave Maha access to a great myriad of dance styles and skills. That, coupled with her roots in Belly Dance, culminates a potent mix for a unique dance style. Today Maha lives with her husband and two daughters in Cyprus. She continues to work on developing students dancing skills and choreographing dances for live performances. Being addicted to multitasking and taking on multiple projects, in addition to her work, studies, and dance performances, she also managed to squeeze in her busy schedule modelling, acting and TV presenting. She gained apprentice membership credits with A.C.T.R.A for different roles. She also made several appearances as a dancer/extra for silver screen as well. Here are some highlights:
