Heaven Mousalem is a Lebanese-American dancer who has dedicated her life to the beautiful art of Raqs Sharqi (bellydance). She is an in-demand performer and has entertained at hundreds of weddings, birthday parties,
and all other happy occasions. Heaven continues to learn from the best artists in her field whenever given the opportunity. Recently she has been inspired by study with Sadie Marquardt, Lebanese Simon, and Jillina. She strives to stay current with the dance in the Middle East and beyond, and seeks to create performances that leave audiences with a lasting appreciation of Middle Eastern dance. Come check out a show! 
I have had the pleasure of enjoying Heaven as a performer and as an instructor. Watching her dance is mesmerizing, she's graceful and powerful! It is amazing watching her hit every beat and capturing the audience with her personality! As a fairly new belly dancer, it has been extremely valuable taking workshops from Heaven! She is very knowledgeable, current, specific but approachable and inviting. I would recommend every student, professional belly dancer or anyone who is interested in oriental dance to take a workshop with Heaven! She is inspiring! Heaven Mousalem is an excellent and enchanting Belly Dance Artist. She is very entertaining and enjoyable to watch. She is a beautiful, elegant, exciting, sexy, skilled, talented and accomplished dance performer. She displays strong dance technique and posture and is very proficient in all aspects of belly dance artistry including solo performance, group choreography, lyrical dancing, drum solo, sword and other balancing, veil dancing, contortion and flexibility skills, as well as playing finger cymbals and doumbek drum. Heaven wears beautiful costumes and is simply gorgeous. Being that belly dance is part of her cultural heritage, she seems to have a special connection to this dance form that is reflected beautifully in her expression of this dance. Heaven Mousalem has EVERYTHING it takes to do what ever she likes a Belly Dance Artist and Teacher. I am endlessly impressed by Heaven's grace and style. She is absolutely lovely to watch, and one of the best dancers I've ever had the pleasure of witnessing perform. Regarding her teaching style: I have never in my life learned a choreography so quickly and so thoroughly as I did from Heaven. Her workshops are so organized and professional, I hardly need to do anything at all when attending in order to learn from her. This is a testament to her amazing teaching ability. She is one of those rare dancers who is excellent at dancing, but can also teach it. I look forward to dancing with, and learning from Heaven for many years to come.
