Album Notes

Goddessdance is a celebration of the Divine mystery of life featuring a large cast of bellydancers, singers, musicians and magical performers from around the world.

With original music, lyrics and choreography by Jehan Kamal, Goddessdance seamlessly blends ancient and modern, Eastern and Western, tradition and innovation. Middle Eastern music, blues, Western classical sounds, trance, hip-hop and Indian ragas and intense percussion weave to create a haunting, poetic soundtrack that inspires and ignites the soul.

The breathtaking choreography and lavish costuming transport both audience and performers to the deepest realms of innerspace where sensuality and spirituality are one. A unique vision of passion and beauty, Goddessdance will be the definitive musical of the new age.

The lyrics are channeled messages from the creator. Goddessdance will not only dazzle and entertain but also heal and inspire.

Jehan has performed from the great concert halls of the West to the palaces and temples of the East. In addition to a career as an internationally celebrated entertainer, she has worked to raise Bellydance back up to its honored place in the sacred altar and has resurrected ancient philosophies which make it a divine expression of Spirit. Revolutionary and innovative, she has expanded the vocabulary of this dance form with intricate variations on movements and unique choreographic interpretations, yet still honors tradition. Jehan is one of the top bellydancers in the world and a force trying to bring in the next age.

Jehan's work as a composer/singer/choreographer for dance companies Ballet Exotiqa and her current company Goddessdance, reflect her mission to share a transcendent experience of dance with others. Jehan is director of the Temple of Jehan, her NY-based school and teaches worldwide.
