Nourhan has had years of improvisational performance experience throughout the United States in cabarets as house dancer; theatre stages as guest artist; and as a featured dancer in workshop galas throughout the world. She was awarded “Cabaret Dancer of the Year” in 1998 and received the “Ethnic Dance Award” from New York’s Attitude Magazine in 1999. Nourhan’s dance style exemplifies great technique, focused energy, dynamic presence, and precise articulation. Within her more contemporary renditions, knowledge of the folklore and its various rhythms are always in evidence. Her years of immersion in Middle Eastern culture lend her dance an authentic depth that is immediately recognized by her enthusiastic audiences – including students, peers, and Middle Easterners. Nourhan Sharif deftly combines Egyptian lyricism and Lebanese theatricality with personal expression that is all Nourhan!
