The Qamari Dance Collective is a collaborative of
dance artists based in Asheville, NC. Mahsati
Janan created the Qamari Dance Collective in
2007 to encompass professional instruction and
performance in multiple styles of Raqs Sharqi,
commonly known as belly dance.

The Qamari Dance Collective isn't about making a
single look or style and it isn't a traditional type of
troupe. It's about bringing together awesome
dancers who have their own styles. Qamari's
focus is on dancers who have all reached a high
level with their own dancing and are still open and
willing to learn and collaborate with other artists.
Any dancer interested in working with us as part
of Qamari can email for more information.

Banat al-Qamar is Mahsati Janan's student troupe and is the Asheville student face of the Qamari Dance
Collective. Their passion for learning and progressing inspires us all to greater heights. Members of the
Qamari Dance Collective and Banat al-Qamar are available for local and regional performances and would
love to be part of your next event.
