In July she was the fourth soloist of A Class at the Oriental Dances National Championship, where she was admired for her particular elegance and innovative style.

Since 2007 she took part every year at the Ballo del Doge of Venice Carnival in Palazzo Pisani Moretta organized by Atonia Sautter.

Alice Nuar is the creator of  “Cerchio Magico”, an imaginative world where dancers can express theirselves and their attitudes in a total freedom.

They get to organise “Danzando nel bosco”, a display of dances from around the world with workshops and shows, whose gainings is devolved partly to WWF Oasi of Vanzago and partly to other animal rights associations.

In August 2007 Cerchio Magico and Al-Kimyia Group, danzatrici di Iside, le Rose del Deserto and the choreographer Wael Mansour gave life to a theatral Oriental Dancing company: unic in its genre thanks to its dancers from the most famous dancing companies of Italy and its choreographies.

Wael mansour’s company danced at Capri Rolex Cup with tribal jazz band TriAd Vibration and during the Dance Congress of Riccione in June 2008. Here Alice and Al-Kimyia went on the stage of this festival with Sharon Kihara.

In June 2009, moved from the desire of transmitting union and complicity beyond forms and styles, Cerchio Magico and other dancing companies created the theatre show “I Mille Volti della Dea”.

Every year Cerchio Magico Club association stage a show with its students to reach harmony and to have fun.

From the meeting with Rachel Brice she felt like deepening Fusion technique; so Alice Nuar decided to study this technique with its creator: Suhaila Salimpour. In 2009 she obtained Diploma Level 1 at Shuaila Salimpour School of Bellydance.

In 2009 she chose to take classical dancing lessons in order to have more mastery and control of her body and balance. She then interpreted the classical raqs sharqi of Wael Mansour, with whom she collaborated to the realisation of his first Oriental dance DVD.

Having spent all these years studying the different styles of Bellydance, from Raqs Sharqi to Tribal, from Balady to Modern Oriental, in her courses she is committed to spread Fusion technique which allows to deepen the awareness of our body and to reach always higher levels of autonomy in Dance.
