AMAYA
LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
Dance & Music Hall of Fame
From her days as a performer with Circus Conelli in Zurich to her role as a
featured performer in Salome in Germany and her award-winning performances
in Cairo competitions, to becoming an international instructor,
Amaya has made an indelible mark on the world of Middle Eastern Dance.
Amaya’s video, American Belly Dance Legends, preserves our history and
she continues to share the dance as a teacher and event and video producer.
As her mentor, dance partner and friend Bert Balladine once said,
“Amaya is a jewel in the crown of the Oriental World.”
We thank you Amaya, for letting that jewel shine bright for us all.
