Jawa’ Leila

(Lilla Valkó)

 

 The expression of feelings, and her passion for music and dance, started to bloom throughout the ages.

 Leila is hopelessly devoted to her art.

 

Jawa’Leila the Hungarian born, cosmopolitan artist is an acknowledged dancer on Hungarian and International stages.

 Her first steps to the rich remarkable life of dance started at the age of 3 beginning with ballet. Throughout the years, she was trained by great Hungarian and foreign professionals in jazz ballet, ballroom dances and traditional folk dances.

 In her profile, her most recent areas of specializations are: the Argentine Tango, the Flamenco, and last but not least, the Middle Eastern Dances, which she started in 1996.

 Leila may be credited as being one of the first to introduce this exotic dance genre into Hungary’s dance life with her performances, and by creating the first dance company on Middle Eastern Dances.

 Leila’s aim is to treasure the wealth of cultural heritage of these traditional dances and to lead them into some fusion after studying the roots and origins of each dance keeping their essence and basic message.

She is very interested in the historical and artistic backgrounds and influences of Flamenco and Arabic dances, she has been investigating it and studying it to enhance her choreographies.

 As a dance instructor and performer, she is in demand in Hungary and several countries.  Her performances have also charmed the audience in the United States, Spain and Japan.

 In 1999, at the age of 17, she was rewarded a Professional Certificate by the Hungarian National Entertainment, Dance and Music Association in Budapest.

In 2002 and 2003, she was working for the Hungarian National Dance Theatre, enriching the choreographies and performances of the theatre. She was also a member of the Budapest Argentine Tango Dance Theatre, having performed in several festivals and public events. Additionally, she has been invited to perform at numerous private events -birthday, wedding, New Year Eve celebrations. She finished her studies in 2006 at the University of the Hungarian Dance Academy, as a choreographer and a critic on art.

 In June 2006, she was honored to be one of the accepted participants at the 1st Egyptian Dance Seminar and Workshop conducted by Mahmoud Reda and Farida Fahmy held in Cairo, Egypt, with the valuable lectures of legends like Sahar Okasha, (costume designing), Shahira Mehrez (enlighten on the Egyptian heritage in arts, costumes and architecture), and Maher Kamal (deep essential instructions on music and composition of the Middle East).

 Jawa’Leila, is in high demand at Hungarian and International dance venues. She provides dance instruction for several dance companies and performs around the world as well.  She currently resides in Spain where she continues her studies and research.
