Khubsurat Ruh (Enlightened Sprit) has been an active dance troupe in the Grand Junction Community for over 30 years. The troupe is co-directed by Mary and Natasha Krasnow.
We are a troupe whose style is rooted in classic "American Style" Middle Eastern dance. Our technique is based in the folkloric dance movement of numerous Middle Eastern cultlures. We honor the traditional dances and strive to maintain the purity of their origins.
We also enjoy exploring other world dances and contemporary styles by expanding our repertoire into Roma, American Tribal, Bollywood, Flamenco fusions, and classic Persian.
Middle Eastern Dance (Belly Dance) is a wonderful overall body exercise as well as a means for emotional, spiritual and intellectual expansion. It is as good for the body as it is for the soul.
In addition to the fitness benefits of the dance, you will find a supporting Sisterly Community.
"We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once."
-Friedrich Nietzsche
