Meiver, a Middle Eastern Dance performer and instructor in Boston, is a fiery entertainer specializing in Egyptian / Lebanese Cabaret style. With natural grace
combined with her authentic feel for Arabic rhythms, she's become one of Boston's favorite and most sought after performers. Her strong sense of rhythm fills her
audience with excitement, leaving them mesmerized by the elegance, gracefulness and mystery of her movements. Beyond Raqs Sharqi, her repertoire includes
double veil, sword balancing, raqs al assaya (cane dance from upper Egypt), Dabka, and the Muwashahaat rhythms of Andalusian origin.
Having spent the first 16 years of her life in the Dominican Republic, Meiver grew up dancing to tropical rhythms like Salsa, Merengue and Bachata and carries the
warmth of the Caribbean in her heart. She started her professional study of dance 10 years ago, covering a variety of genres which have come to influence her style.
After training in Modern Dance, Flamenco and Salsa, Meiver began studying Middle Eastern dance focusing on Raqs Sharqi, but also training on Romi, Dunyavi,
Turkish and Persian.
