Shareefa Al Zayani, a Khaleeji woman, a daughter, a mother and a lover of joy and entertainment. She appreciates knowledge and awareness as well.

Shareefa fell for the art of performance very early as she grew up attending family ladies parties and celebrations where she witnessed and practiced dancing.

In addition to traditional TV shows and operettas that she admired, Shareefa participated in local and regional scout movement in high school which practicing heritage and culture in scout camps was one of the main goals. She was also a young leader and a squad leader.

Shareefa obtained her bachelor degree in physical education from the University of Bahrain and worked in education in the kingdom of Bahrain government schools for 10 years where she remained nearby physical activity, music and dance.

She started working as a DJ since 2017 and noticed the absence of Khaleeji dance in weddings as girls were more interested in western dance such as hip hop, zumba, salsa, etc.

The young generation did not know how to perform their cultural dances and they did not like them to begin with.

So Shareefa decided to train Khaleeji folklore movement performing arts and started searching for references to learn more.

However, she faced the obstacle of not having enough available documentation of those arts which was the main motive to decide doing official research and documentation work back in 2018.

Shareefa started training Khaleeji women dance in February 2020.
