Ever thought about joining our Student Troupe Nazeem Alsabah?

As we promote from within, every of our amateur and professional dancers and teachers starts by joining our amateur troupe Nazeem Alsabah. We recruit twice a year after our show, and I hope you are interested in checking us out. We have an audition process that allows us to get to know each other, and the first signup and information meeting is typically scheduled a week or two after our Spring and Fall studio show. If you cannot make this meeting, please call us at (404) 638-6530 so we can make alternative arrangements.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for beginner level and intermediate level Nazeem Allayl Studio Students. Yes, Beginners! :-) We are definitely not looking for a "finished product" dancer & actually tend to recruit beginners, because we have a very distinct style and want troupe members who are able to easily adapt & develop their dance into that style. We are looking for fabulous Works-in-Progress, who want to dance, dance, dance!

Who is Nazeem Alsabah & why should I want to be a troupe member?  

Nazeem Alsabah is a fabulous & very talented group of women, who make up one of the best Middle Eastern Dance Troupes in the U.S. -- amateur or professional. The members are from diverse backgrounds & all share a deep love for and commitment to belly dance, our studio, and performing.
Being in Nazeem Alsabah gives dancers an opportunity to seriously challenge themselves and develop their talent and performance skills. It is also a wonderful way to bond with other dancers, make friends, and have a lot of fun while doing something you love. Some of us go to workshops together, travel together – from a NKOTB cruise to a trip to Egypt, and every year in the summer we go for a weekend dance retreat into the Georgia Mountains.

Our troupe is in demand, so we get a lot of performance opportunities that others can only dream about. We get to perform at events such as Atlanta Streets Alive, Halloween Parades, Day of Dance for Health, GA Renaissance Festival; at Cultural Festivals such as Divali, Eid, New Years from very diverse groups such as Egypt, Lebanon, Japan, China, India, Bangladesh, or Pakistan; we even get to participate in TV shows such as the Real Housewives of Atlanta, Braxton Family Values, Get Swanked, What to do in Atlanta, or Love and Hip Hop.

What do YOU get out of being in Nazeem Alsabah?

  • surround yourself with serious dancers & be a part of a very prestigious group.
  • be a member of an actual troupe w/ all the joys that go along with that.
  • perform A LOT and represent the dance and the studios that you love.
  • surround yourself with all things belly dance & learn more about every aspect of belly dance – the culture, the music, the mystique, where it's been and where it is going.
  • develop your talent, get more individual critique and be able to hone your performance skills in a way that would not be possible with any other group or anywhere else.
  • Wear very fabulous costumes and be adored by thousands of people!
  • You get to be very fabulous. Hello! Have you seen us? What more do you need?

Our typical Workload

We typically practice Sundays 11am-1pm ish, and troupe activities take place at Little 5 Points or at Brookhaven. Before events, we sometimes practice during the week after class, so 9pm+ to 10pm+. We take weekly classes in addition to the troupe practices. More details at the information meeting.

First meeting

See the website calender and newsletter for the exact date of our first meeting. At that point, we’ll discuss and schedule the Audition process - a series of activities that allow us to get to know each other, and the actual audition (TBD).

Interested in joining us?

Talk to your teacher and let them know. We hold auditions at least twice a year, in Spring and in Fall.
