Queen of AMCAB Specialists

General Info

Cory Zamora came to Fresno in 1972, with dance skills instilled since age 3. Backed by a strong business sense, she found that there was a need for valid Middle Eastern dance in the valley. In the past 20 years, dance has gone a non-historical route to better understand what Zamora's does, is to better understand the middle eastern dance movement in the 1960's and 70's. In the 2000's, the term AMCAB was invented. With this ,American cabaret, came the confusion that this meant American dance. In actuality, "belly dance" in the formative years here, was put into action by immigrants wants to feel at home. The bands, restaurants etc were all owned and populated by those of the blood. Even our first music to learn with, was directed to the middle eastern person, now living in the USA .nothing was dumbed down, "white out" recorded for the western ear .THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO TAUGHT US TO DANCE! We did not tell them what we were going to do, they taught us. From the men in the band to the grandma in the kitchen, we were taught by all. Just as in the days of the silk road, a melting pot...but all middle eastern. This is the tradition we carry on. We use no American fusion of any type!. we are old school, as taught by the blood.
