Saba was moved by the beauty of music, dance, and culture since her childhood in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia . This led her to focus on exploring dance especially in preserving, creating, and fusing African and related dance forms. Her background being Ethiopian dance, Saba has further training and performing experience in styles such as Congolese Soukous, West African, Hip Hop and Belly Dance. Other than spending ample time teaching herself and practicing on her own, Saba studied and performed West African dance with Franklin & Marshall College African Dance Group (USA) and Imani Edu-tainers (USA). She studied Belly Dance with Yasmina Ramzy and Denise Mireau of Arabesque Academy. Teachers of DLM, National Dance of Canada, and DoDat have shaped her Hip Hop skills. Saba currently teaches Belly Dance at Arabesque Academy and is a dancer with Arabesque Dance Company. She is also a teacher, dancer and choreographer for Nouvel Exposé Dance Troupe, shaping this young company's aspirations.
