Autumn
Ward
Ms.
Ward's repertoire includes Egyptian and "American Fusion"
styles of belly dance, Egyptian folk dance, and Persian classical dance.
She works with props including finger cymbals, canes, "veils,"
and swords, and dances to both live and taped music.
Autumn Ward is a superior dancer, easily rating among the best
in the world. During the four years when I lived in Egypt, and the three
years that I have studied Middle Eastern dance in the US, I have seen
many highly-regarded oriental dancers and none of them have demonstrated
the combination of rigorous technical skill, mesmerizing gracefulness,
and emotional expression that Autumn conveys in her dance.
