Assala Ibrahim

Assala Ibrahim was born in Basra City where she grew up with the Khashaba songs and dances. She is an active dance researcher, and her clear teaching concepts and unique dance style have made her one of the most sought-after dance instructors and performers worldwide. In her desire to prevent the authentic Khashaba dance from becoming a lost or forgotten art-form, she has throughout her career documented, reconstructed, and clarified the traditional dance steps and patterns. By doing so, she hopes to provide future dancers with a solid foundation which can then be used for creating new and modern interpretations of El Khashaba music. Understanding the relationship between the past and the present is an essential part of Assala’s teaching and she considers this knowledge a necessity for the dedicated student of this dance.
