Sadeema


Sadeema didn't know anything about Middle Eastern style dancing until she moved to Logan, UT from San Jose, CA. She had become friends with someone who was involved in performing with the troupe at Utah State. She decided to check it out after her husband gave her an account of how beautiful and mesmerizing a dance he saw her friend perform was and she fell in love right away. "I had always wanted to be a dancer and knew that I had found my niche." Because of her natural ability and grace she was chosen to become a performing troupe member within the first year of studying Middle Eastern dance. That was in 1999. She has been performing with the Shazadi Troupe ever since. "This group of girls is awesome and we mesh together very well while still managing to be so wonderfully diverse." When Sadeema is not dancing, you can find her avidly pursuing Aikido. She also loves to read, make costumes, and collect recipes. Sadeema and her husband live with their 2 cats, Anubis and Amenhotep, on the cozy southwest side of Logan, UT.
