Fahtiem brings a touch of class to Oriental Dance, as well as a delightful sauciness, making her not only a grand entertainer, but an artist as well. It's no wonder that as a performer, teacher, and choreographer, she is so in demand." - Ibrahim Farrah, Publisher, Arabesque Magazine
Fahtiem has performed throughout the United States,
including engagements on cruise ships and performances on cable and network
TV. Her love and commitment to the dance is evident in her efforts to motivate
each dancer to their individual best. It has been said that "Fahtiem truly has
a master's touch. The simplest movement is presented with incredible focused
energy. The quality of Fahtiem's movements is what we all strive for." Her
style is soulful and dynamic. Her movement expressive and clear. On stage
her ability to reach and entertain an audience with warmth and humor is
delightfully apparent. As a teacher Fahtiem conveys not only solid form
and technique, but the subtle nuance that makes this dance magical.
In addition to being the Producer/Director of this annual belly dance convention
and stage production known as Oasis Dance Magic, Fahtiem is the Special
Event and Entertainment Coordinator/Performer for the Caspian Restaurant,
a position she also held at the Athenian and Zorba's Restaurants. Fahtiem,
with the Sultan's Delites, has been a performer at the Whittier Village
Festival for 10 years. She has choreographed Othello at the annual Grove
Shakespearean Festival. She has been a performer and teacher on the cruise
ship SS Oceanic, the choreographer for the Miss America Preliminary Pageant
in 1998 and is the Director/Choreographer of the Sultan's Delites. Stories
from Fahtiem are included in the newly published book Belly Laughs by Rod
Long.
