Aisha-al Hanan is a band of friends who practice personal growth through Eastern music, the dance of the belly, and the daily coexistence in the surroundings that have been called on to live in Habana in the 21st Century.

 

The Bellydance Cuba Workshop is a humanitarian artistic and cultural exchange created by hanan and the hanan arts cooperative in December 2003. The ongoing "workshop" is a mentoring, training and educational sponsorship of the now renown and unprecedented bellydance troupe in Havana, Cuba named "grupo Aisha al-Hanan". The new troupe is based out of the "Casa de los Arabes" in La Habana Vieja; a museum and mosque dedicated to preserving Arabic culture and history in Cuba, sponsored by the Office of the Historian. To date, the troupe has performed in many festivals, cultural and educational symposiums and for Arabic Embassies throughout Havana. The Bellydance Cuba Workshop is a volunteer based and donation driven project.
