1983
– Lulu Sabongi is Brazilian, born in Sao Paulo. In 1983 Lulu began her studies in Oriental Dance with the Armenian dancer Madeleine Iskandarian (Shahrazad) who has lived in Brazil for 40 years.
At the age of seventeen she fell in love with the Arabic culture and because of that she has maintained contact with the Arabic community and close relationship with the best musicians in the country.
1984
In 1984 she started to dance professionally at Khan El Khalili, Egyptian tea house which is now a national symbol of the art of Oriental dance. Khan El Khalili offers shows from Monday to Monday with renown dancers. Khan El Khalili is the most traditional Egyptian tea house in Brazil, founded by Jorge Sabongi in 1982. Jorge and Lulu have been working together in a very strong partnership for the last 19 years.

In 1986 in her first trip to the United States she met Ibrahim Farah and took private classes with him. In 1989 she started her career as a teacher and without planning it was born what later would turn out to be the best belly dance school in the country. Today it counts with seven teachers and approximately five hundred students. The school is exclusively focused to oriental dance.
In 1991 she retured to the USA and took veil techniques classes with Nahid Sofie (NY). During her three week stay she performed at The Nile night club under the supervision of the Egyptian coreographer Saied.

Later came two more videos with a live presentation in the fifteenth anniversary of her career bringin together 30 professional dancers who were her students and an audience of more than 1200 people. These 5 videos sold initially 10.000 units each.
In the same year, by invitation of Mr. Lofty Zayed of the Brazilian Association of Egyptian Culture Lulu traveled to Egypt where she performed at the Shepperd Hotel. This presentation was broadcasted on three different channels of the Egyptian television causing great interest in the quality of Brazilian dancers.
