 Habiba with music legend STING!  July 31, 2010, Saratoga Performing Arts Center

"And to launch the string of encores, Sting was joined by Nippertown’s own premier belly-dancer Habiba, whose captivating hip-swiveling added to the sensuality of “Desert Rose.” So, how was the generous, three-hour performance? In one word – Grand!"  Review by Andrzej Pilarczyk, Nippertown!

Check this YouTube link for video of Habiba's appearance with Sting. Performance begins at 1:27:

"As one of the Belly Dance Divas and a student of Habiba's for 5+ years, I have to urge everyone to take at least one class. Your muscles will burn, sweat will run into your eyes and you'll feel like a freaking goddess the whole time. Habiba's a gem, and everyone should have the chance to experience her class! " Sahar

"I am also one of the the Belly Dance Divas and Habiba is such an amazing teacher! The classes are so much fun and she teaches in a way that makes it so easy to pick up the different moves. I echo Sahar's words and would urge everyone to give it a try!" 
Jalilah 

" Thank you so much. This movement is just what my body needs right now. The pace and attention to detail in your class were perfect. I'm looking forward to Thursday again already."
