Sima Dance Company
Sima Dance Company (شركة سيما للرقص) was founded in Damascus, Syria in 2003 by Alaa Krimed, a renowned choreographer, known for his unique works in the region. After noticing a void in the Arab contemporary dance landscape, he took the first step towards filling that gap, aspiring to expose the Middle Eastern audience to the art of contemporary dance. Today, Sima Dance Company develops a unique contemporary dance practice which blends artistic influences from around the World to reflect the culture and history of the Middle East.

Vision
They put together several globally recognized theatrical performances across the region. These stage performances are expertly choreographed by Alaa Krimed who among his various accolades recently won Arabs Got Talent through his dancing and choreography. We also provide dance entertainment services for events ranging from corporate, gala dinners, fashion shows and more.

After noticing a void in the Arab contemporary dance landscape, Krimed took the first step towards filling that gap, aspiring to expose the Middle Eastern audience to the art of contemporary dance. Today, Sima Dance Company boasts over 40 dancers with an excellent academic background.

In 2012, Sima Dance Company founded a dance studio in Beirut, Lebanon. The studio focused on promoting Arab contemporary dance in Lebanon by further developing the skills of aspiring professionals and qualified dancers. By the year 2014, the company’s efforts were awarded winning the title of Arabs Got Talent, the Arab version of the international show, produced by MBC. In 2015, they move to Dubai, UAE.

Sima Dance Company has enriched the Arab art scene with artistic performances reflecting on the enriching Arab heritage expressed in different contexts. In 2019, they just celebrated their one year anniversary in their new found home in Alserkal Avenue.
