Anaheed has been performing and teaching for many years. She loves sharing the joy of this art form. Belly Dancing is a powerful, feminine form of artistic expression. Give yourself the gift of dance and try Belly Dancing! Note: Anaheed is an Armenian or Persian girl's name, sometimes spelled differently (for foreign languages it's usually phonetic choice!) as in: Anahid, Anahed, Anahita, or variation Nahed. The meaning relates to the Goddess Diana, or Moon Goddess, as well as a famous ancient Persian Queen named Anahita known for her good deeds toward her people. I use the name to honor a little bit of Middle Eastern blood in my background and as part of my real name. The spelling is my choice for easier pronunciation. (Although I still get called called "Miss Heed" on occasion!)

Amara, pictured above, "The Jellyfish," costume by Hallah Moustaffa
Past Experimental Concert at Highways Theatre
On August 11 and 12, 2000, this production presented works not usually seen in traditional Middle Eastern dance venues because of their controversial nature (religious, sensual, and outrageous!) Picture at left: David & Anaheed in "Lotus and the Cross." Produced by the lovely Amara, other performers included Anaheed, Djahari, Tatiana, and members of Ya Helewa!
