Memoir from Sophia Agapedis, aka Z-Helene

“Watching Z-Helene perform is an organic experience… [she] proves that a determined artist can successfully fuse various international dance styles upon a solid base of Middle Eastern dance… Here is an artist of strong individuality… The language of her dance is universal and would be understood in any land… She reaches for the elements and incorporates them successfully into her own personal expression, fusing them into movement.”
