Founded in 1980 by renowned dancer Jenaeni Rathor, Yaleil's elegant and sultry choreographies continue to thrive today, featuring star dancer Ansuya (Jenaeni's daughter). The mother/daughter team co-direct this troupe, known for it's well trained, fit and fearless cast who's performances push the envelope in the realm of sensual feminine expression, while paying close attention to detail, polish, and class.
As choreographers, Ansuya and Jenaeni blend complicated techniques from Egyptian, Turkish, Gypsy, Tribal, and Cabaret styles. They also will include and adapt moves from other dance styles such as Indian, Persian, Brazillian, Afro - Cuban, Spanish, and Modern Urban styles. Many of their moves are originals, created from years of experience and a love for the art.
Yaleil
had the honor of being the headliner entertainment at the launch
party for the Bollywood feature film "The Return of The Theif
of Bagdad," held at the Taj Coromendal Hotel in Madras, India.
They have been the entertainment for such Hollywood events as
Drew Barrymore's Birthday (held at hot spot "Noura Café"
on Melrose in Hollywood), and corporate parties for many companies,
including Taco Bell. The troupe regularly performed at well known
Arabic restaurants in the L.A. area, including "Al Amir"
in Beverly Hills and enjoyed repeat performances at the Belly
Dancing community's established conventions, such as Cairo Carnivale
and Rakkasah. Their 2000 concert "Yaleil
Comes Home," featured three two-hour performances of
original choreographies, incorporating props from fans to swords,
and interpretations of music from Morocco to Brazil, was greeted
with three standing ovations and an invitation to do a repeat
performance at the annual Middle Eastern Culture and Dance Association
(MECDA) anniversary party.
