"Dancing is like oxygen to me.......I need it to live!"
Photographer: Brent Springbett
Namira began her dancing career at age five when her Mother enrolled her in her first Ballet class. She then continued her studies of classical ballet through out her life as well as Pointe, character ballet, pas de deux, jazz, Lyrical, Hip-hop, African, tap, Hawaiian, Tahitian, Latin styles, Flamenco, aerials, and gymnastics.
Namira fell in love with the Middle Eastern style of dance after being asked to perform in an Arabian Nights themed show. She really enjoys the beauty and athleticism as well as the charm and emotional aspects of the dance.
Her first professional dance performance was at age twelve in a Polynesian revue. Namira dances and choreographs professionally for film, television, commercials, Broadway musicals, Las Vegas revues, conventions, restaurants, competitions, and private functions. Namira is featured on the "Tito's Show 2008" DVD, and on the soon to be released "By dancers for dancers Vol 3 or 4" DVD.
