Drissia Nejma (France
/ Morocco)
Born in Morocco, I grew up in a family fond
of festivities, dance and music which had a profound impact on me
as it shaped what would later become my true passion: dancing. As
a teenager, in Casablanca, meeting new friends who happened to share
this very same passion sealed my determination to commit my life and
energy to the mastering and perfecting of the Egyptian-style Oriental
dance art form. Being fluent in Literary
Arabic, and playing the percussions enable me to develop a better
understanding and thus a more subtle interpretative approach to
the music I choose to create choregraphies on. Freedom and harmony
without betraying the essence of this art form is what I keep aiming
for and share with my students.
I learned with professional Musician Haki Kilik and after I came
to Cairo to improve my pedagogy of Oriental Dance with Diana
Tarkhan whom I thank.
Today, I continue learning rythms with professional percussionists
Haki Kilik and Imed Alibi and regularly attend seminars for professional
dancers with world famous Egyptian dancer and choregrapher Momo
Kadous.

creation of a choreography
on the subject from Indus to Guadalquivir for the festival QUARTIER
LIBRE of Montpellier chosen by some professional choreographers
and artists.
I had the privilege to be one of the 3 choreographers who trained
the twice award winner Hafsia Herzi for her part in Abdellatif Kechiches
4 Cesars winner film 2008.
With only a few lessons, Hafsia learned to develop some Oriental
Dance techniques while retaining and expressing her own unique style.
This reflects precisely my conception of teaching: sharing my expertise
and encouraging a personal interpretation.
I obtained a professional degree in Education and cultural animation
(BPJEPS OPTION CULTURE)
participation in the creation of an Andalusian spectacle Bronce
and Encage for the 10th Edition of hivernales of Beziers.
I created of a choreography an a Tale thousand and one night with

general council of Languedoc Roussillon.
