Welcome! Raks Almeh Dance Troupe is a professional, performance Tribal Fusion belly dance troupe that was established in Chilliwack, B.C., in October, 2002. We celebrate the experiences of life and sisterhood through music and dance, sharing a passion for Middle Eastern culture, history, music, costumes and dance. Through performance we introduce, educate, entertain and promote the ethnic art of Middle Eastern Belly Dancing to the public and nurture a community of enthusiasts for Middle Eastern costume, culture and dance.

Our fusion of dance styles includes Gypsy, Egyptian, Spanish, Arabic, Banjari and Tribal, which we may choreograph to traditional Middle Eastern music or to Alternative Pop. We endeavour to bring the joy of belly dance to women in the Fraser Valley by hosting workshops, Haflas, and other events where belly dancers have the opportunity to learn new dance styles and techniques, and can share their interpretation of the dance with others. As a troupe we continuously strive to raise our level of skill and variation in performance, by participating in workshops and classes, exploring many forms of dance.
