Born in Tunisia and now creating her works in Paris, Leila Haddad is one of the most recognised practitioners of Raqs Sharki, popularly known as oriental dance or belly-dancing. In the course of her career, she has taken the dance from cabarets and clubs to the major festivals and cultural institutions of Europe and the USA. With her performances, she has revived the dignity and tradition of the belly dance and conveyed its latent sensuality as a tribute to femininity rather than subjugation to male images of women.
