Pure Raks is based on the traditions and stylization of historically famous artists such as Samia Gamal and Sohair Zaki, and evolves with the work of lifetime artist Jasmin Jahal. Not every great dancer is a great teacher, and you deserve to train with the best. Jasmin Jahal is one of those rare contemporary artists that can teach what she can do and mentors dancers who have become nationally recognized. Jasmin is a full-time professional dancer (not an amateur or hobbyist). She has 30 years of teaching experience in Middle Eastern dance and a life time of experience in dance performance.
