ABOUT JAMILA

Jamila is often lauded by many as South East Asia's most beautiful and captivating Queen of Oriental Dance. She is one of Singapore's most influential and outstanding Oriental Dance artiste. Formerly a professional model, Jamila was appointed as Singapore's "Golden Flower" cultural ambassador to ASEAN, in 2009.

Jamila's dance style is a masterful and radiant combination of grace, charm, mystery and emotions. It is an angelic, elegant style she has honed and continues to perfect over the years. Her ability to be move as 'one' with the music and to amplify the musical score with fluid, mesmerizing body movements bars none. As the audience, you will be treated to an exquisite visual-audio choreography like no other. Jamila attributes this to her inherent ability to 'decipher' musical keynotes naturally and intrinsically.

Jamila is often invited overseas both as a teacher and as a dance artiste. Countries include France, Hungary, Turkey, Egypt, Korea, China, Vietnam, & & Malaysia. In the local media circle, Jamila is a frequently invited guest for interviews and performances on television and various other media and publications. She performed at events such as the F1 Race, the Youth Olympic Games, the local Chinese Embassy and also at many big charity events, among others. Jamila has performed for local important figures such as the President of Singapore, Mdm. Halimah Yacob, former Singapore Presidents Dr. Tony Tan and the late Mr. S.R Nathan, former Emeritus Senior Minister Dr. Goh Chok Tong and the Founding Father of Singapore, the late Minster Mentor Mr Lee Kuan Yew.

In the last 10 years, Jamila frequently devotes her time and energy to helping the less fortunate through charity work and fund-raising performances - believing that everlasting beauty comes from the heart.
