Suraya Hilal

Dancer and choreographer, Suraya Hilal’s creativity innovation and theatrical work have brought a new dance and music culture into view in the contemporary world. Today, the totality of her creative work, choreography and teaching is called Hilal Dance.
Early education

Suraya Hilal was born in Cairo, where as a child, dancing in family celebrations was a normal part of life. Dance continued to feature strongly in her student days as she later studied Psychology and Special Education at university in the USA. As a student, she also gave lectures, demonstrations and presentations on Middle Eastern dance and began studying contemporary dance and eastern forms, including Indian and Afro-American at the Catherine Dunham School.
After graduating from university, she left America and travelled extensively in the Middle East and North Africa, studying and researching Egyptian and traditional dances. Her experiences in the US had given her new tools and fresh perspectives and renewed her interest in research and analysis of movement and traditions.
Launching a career as solo artist

Suraya Hilal began her performance career in the early ‘80s as a solo artist, when she moved to Oxford and then London. She first performed her work at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 1980 and 1982. From this beginning onward, Suraya Hilal’s work progressed rapidly, and continued to receive tremendous media coverage and critical documentation. Throughout the 80’s, with the help of small grants from the British Arts Council, Suraya continued to perform her solo work with recorded music accompanied by a percussionist in small theatres all over Britain. At the same time, Suraya’s creative impulses lead her to innovation and invention extending the traditional to unexplored territories. This is visible in all her work from the beginning up to the present. Along side performance, teaching was an important arena for creating and advancing her work.

Tradition and Innovation

Meticulous field research that was conducted by Suraya Hilal from the 80s, resulted in a fully codified system of movement, establishing and clarifying three traditional categories: the Sha'abi, the Baladi, and Sharqi idioms of dance and music. This work has given birth to a real artistic dance movement in Europe and has become a cultural reference for all those involved in any kind of Egyptian dance. Hilal Dance essentially draws upon ancient roots maintaining the ‘original spirit’, and through refined aesthetics, expands the expressive potential, creating a contemporary and progressive language, that reaches beyond geographic boundaries.
