Raqs Habibi is a raqs sharqi and belly dance trio based between San Francisco, California and Portland, Oregon. What started in 2004 as a side project for three long-time solo dancers and old friends has become more of a focus and a priority for each of us--dare we say it has taken on a life of it's own?! We have a somewhat unique perspective on troupe dancing as we are, erm, geographically challenged as a trio (2 of us are in different parts of the SF Bay Area, one is in the Portland area). We try to use this to our advantage--when we are together we work hard on new material, and we practice via video in between gigs and 'upkeep' weekends. Plus we get to take gigs all over the place, and we don't get sick of each other. :)
