about me
Usually, twirling, whirling, jingling & jangling are the sights and sounds of Zahira SuJong’s Belly Dance… but not always! When performing Zahira SJ loves to mix it up. While favoring traditional Turkish, Lebanese, Eastern European Folk and modern dance, she also loves to create dramatic works or throw in a bit of funk when occasions allow.
Zahira SJ began dancing over 29 years ago in Manitoba, Canada. She has studied visual & performing fine arts, languages & graphic design in Canada, Europe, Asia & the U.S. Performing various styles of dance professionally since 1988, Zahira SJ has seized many opportunities to study diverse fine arts, martial arts, rhythms and dance everywhere her travels have taken her.
Zahira SJ has choreographed & performed traditional as well as modern styles of Mid-Eastern dance with The Beledi Club and Mahasin in AL, as well as New Horizons Dance Academy the Ethereal Belly Dancers in El Paso, TX and Ruhani Dansözler. As the Artistic Director & Graphic Designer for KB Works Studio, she has often helped promote various fine arts and dance events.
Zahira SJ is a costume designer, versatile performer and choreographer. She was also a teacher at New Horizons Dance Academy, in El Paso, Texas, as well as the Director of the Ethereal Belly Dancers in El Paso, TX and the Ruhani Dansözler. In January 2009 Zahira SuJong briefly moved back to Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, before taking up a teaching position at KonYang University, South Korea in late February. Along with teaching her university classes in language and culture, she enjoys introducing students to the joys (and work) of healthy cooking, Middle Eastern and modern dance.
“The joy of travelling is the wonder of new experiences, meeting new people and making new friends, as well as the familiarity of the old ones that you come back to.”
- Zahira SuJong

Update:
Monday at 8pm mountain time my mother's church group with be holding a prayer session. About 22 years ago they held one when my father went missing after the mexico city earthquake. Halfway through the prayer session someone walked in (from where I don't know) and told them that he'd been found alive and in good health. (they continued praying anyway for the others affected by the earthquake) They are hoping to achieve a similar result.
So if you happen to be free that night, ...

From Jenn:
My children are missing...
This is not a drill, this is not some lead up to some sick punch line.
Their father flew them out of the country August 23rd and didn't return them.
Their destination was Dubai.
Someone has been helping him back in Las Cruces and cleared out his apartment for him.
I need ANY and ALL information leading up to either who has been helping him,
