In marking the company’s golden anniversary, Jamila’s daughter, pioneering belly dance choreographer, teacher and dancer Suhaila Salimpour, presents an international program honoring her mother’s legacy Aug. 4 4 at the El Cerrito High School Performing Arts Theater. The East Bay suburb stands out amidst the other locations for the year-long 50th anniversary celebration, which started in April with performances in Stockholm, London, and Brussels. After Saturday’s event, the sumptuously costumed production moves to Atlanta and Chicago.

But Saturday is the hometown party for Kensington resident Suhaila Salimpour, who teaches out of Berkeley’s Center for International Dance and graduated dance earrings, ballerina earrings w/ silver filled earring wires - ballet shoes, dance tutu, dance girls charms - dance recital from Albany High (class of 1985), Her mother’s most consequent disciple, she honed and expanded Jamila’s teachings, Featuring dozens of performers hailing from across North America, East Asia, and Europe, the range of dancers participating at Saturday’s celebration reflects the international impact of the Salimpours, With her mother’s death at the age of 91 in December, what started as a one-off event to mark Bal Anat’s milestone turned into “a mini world tour for us,” Suhaila says, “When the belly dance world realized what we were doing it became this huge belly dance memorial and a lot of the original cast members are flying in from all over the world, This is the mother show in the birth place, and it’s really become a family reunion for the school and community that my mother established.”..

No facet of belly dance is uncomplicated, and it’s entirely consonant with the style’s contested history that Jamila Salimpour created her school after she was forced to retire from the stage by her husband. “My father forbad my mother to dance after they were married and threatened to break both her legs if she ever stepped on stage again,” Suhaila says. “My father’s side of the family disowned me when I became a dancer.”. A quick recap of Jamila’s life offers a fascinating window into belly dance’s evolution in the United States, from orientalist tableaux to its manifold status as exotic immigrant art form, tribal fusion dance practice and self-actualizing body-positive pursuit. Born in New York to Sicilian immigrants, Jamila first experienced Arab culture secondhand from her father’s tales of Egypt, Syria and Tunisia, lands he visited while serving in the Italian navy. Returning with records of classical Arab music, he often gave the family impromptu renditions of dance routines he saw during his travels.

Almost two decades later, after she spent several years performing with Ringling Brothers Circus as an acrobatic dancer, Jamila encountered belly dance via Egyptian films featuring stars such as Samia Gamal, Tahia Carioca and Naima Akef, Imitating their moves, she first performed belly dance at Armenian community celebrations in Fresno, working with Richard Hagopian on oud (an instrument she also studied), She started teaching dance earrings, ballerina earrings w/ silver filled earring wires - ballet shoes, dance tutu, dance girls charms - dance recital belly dance in Los Angeles in the late 1940s, and after a divorce moved to San Francisco in 1958, finding work at various North Beach nightclubs..

One of her primary venues was the Baghdad Cabaret, which occupied an erotically charged social space between North Beach’s topless/bottomless clubs and even some old burlesque-style rooms. It was where Jamila met her met Iranian-born drummer Ardeshir Salimpour, Suhaila’s father. She went on to co-own the club for several years, and though she stopped performing she produced performances by Middle Eastern dancers and continued to refine her teaching. “She created the first format in belly dance, naming movements and breaking them down into families and regions,” Suhaila says. “This was revolutionary. She created a finger cymbal instructional technique that’s still used. When I directly took over the school in the late 1985, I started to break it down deeper. I started to bring in the physiology, and I created a certification program in belly dance. There are five levels and once you are level two certified you’re invited to become a cast member in Bal Anat.”.

She pioneered online belly dance instruction, which has greatly expanded her school and technique’s international reach, building on connections she forged while performing across the Middle East, particularly Egypt and Lebanon, in the 1980s, Suhaila has written widely and dance earrings, ballerina earrings w/ silver filled earring wires - ballet shoes, dance tutu, dance girls charms - dance recital thought a lot about the hall of mirrors that gave birth to 20th century belly dance, “In the golden era they were trying to imitate the West so much, the costumes were based on Hollywood,” says Suhaila, who devotes a good deal of time to documenting the essential belly dance music of the 1960s and 70s, “They were imitating us imitating them, Now the Middle East is worried about food, shelter, water and war.”..

Belly dance’s social position remains in a gray zone in the lands where it first arose. Hugely popular but disreputable, the tradition continues to evolve in the Middle East while female bodies are on the front line of social struggle. “Love and hate — it’s always been like this,” Dina Talaat Sayed, the long-reigning queen of Egyptian belly dance told the New York Times in a recent story. “Egyptians cannot have a wedding without a belly dancer. But if one of them marries your brother — oh, my God! That’s a problem.”.
