Who is Queen H a r i s h ?

I am from Jaisalmer, it is the first city on the desert road to Egypt.

The city is entirely made of a stone that reflects a golden pattern in the middle of Rajasthan, country of the kings and i am the dancing whirling Queen of the desert of India.

I have been touring all over USA, Canada, Europe, Russia, Japan, India, South East Asia and Australia and i was introduced to the Bellydance community by Tamalyn Dallal at Miami Orientalia in 2002 where i met Amar Gamal, Kaeshi and Jenna of the Bellyqueens

In 2008 i was guest dancer to Cheb i Sabbah, Rupa & The April Fishes and Fanfare Ciocarlia and performed at Central Park Summer Stage, LA Getty Center and major venues in Japan.

In 2008 my workshops were sponsored by Terezka ( Sydney ), Kaeshi ( NYC ), Leilainia ( San Diego ), Colleena ( India ), Jenna (Los Angeles), Mishaal (Tokyo), Tania Luiz (Osaka) among others

In 2009 i will tour solo in Europe, USA and Middle East and will join INDIA, a show designed by Franco Dragone.

Through my touring I look for the most feminine women to inspire my performing character and i look for discerning dancers from around the world to inspire my very own fusion form of dance that is first of all rooted deeply in the strong and living cultural traditions of my hometown in Jaisalmer.

I didnt have any dance training the first time i performed on a stage for tourists visiting my city back in 1995, i just really wanted to dance as i watched already so many dancers, then it was my turn and i improvised and the public called me to dance again, dance is my god gift.

Since 1997 I have been dancing worldwide as a guest dancer for international Rajasthani music groups Musafir till 1999 and for Maharaja from 2000 till 2002 and was featured in the award winning documentary "Gypsy Caravan"

PROPOSAL

Lucknow – Friday. The women ‘artists’ of Chowk, who have been entertaining their admirers individually so far, may now start doing it collectively.

They are actively considering a proposal to start a ‘common hall’ where their admirers will be allowed on tickets and the dancers will present their programme.

The idea was put to them when a deputation of the ‘artists’ consisting of office-bearers of the Sangeet Kalakar Union met the local officers today.

The were told that the police would enforce the law as long as there was a suspicion that men going to the houses of the ‘artists’ were provided entertainment other than singing and dancing.
