Biography
Aphrodite is a belly dancer who enjoys all styles of Middle Eastern dance and likes to take a little bit of everything and combine it into her own style. She is knowledgeable in dancing with different props, including veil, double veil, sword balancing, finger cymbals, cane, glass dancing (dancing while balancing on glasses), fire sword balancing, and Wings of Isis. She currently studies with multiple instructors, not only for just bellydance but other forms of dance and movement such as Brazilian Samba, Afro-Brazilian dance, hoop dance, ballet, and contortion to better understand body movement in other dance forms. She has dabbled in many other dance forms, including Salsa, West Coast Swing, Cha Cha, Hula, Bollywood, low-flying trapeze, and Jazz.
Aphrodite is a member of Kaya and Sadie's world dance company, Groove du Monde and a troupe member of the Kaivalya Hoop Dancers. In 2006 she made an appearance as a backup dancer for Sadie on the Temptation of Bellydance show and appears on the performance DVD for the film, directed and produced by an Emmy-nominated producer. She has also been featured on Susie Wargin's fitness segment for 9 News Colorado as a belly dance performer and instructor. She has performed around Colorado and the United States, from festivals to clubs to parties.

"One word...WOW. Aphrodite came out with a big sword. I
thought she was ready to behead someone! Her performance was
gymnastic, to say the least. I couldn't get over the backbend with
sword on belly, and belly flutters. Oh my gawd! What an amazing show." - Jawahir Bahiya, belly dancer from Boulder, Colorado
"I had the pleasure of booking Aphrodite for a New Years Eve party; I was impressed by her professionalism during the booking process and even more impressed with her dancing and performance. She was very entertaining and all of my guests had a great time. I would highly recommend Aphrodite for any event you are looking to spice up, she will have your guests talking about your party for weeks." - James Allen Thoughts from Aphrodite
In today's world sometimes it's hard to think of ourselves as beautiful women. I have seen time and time again belly dance change that for a woman. Before I started belly dancing at the age of fifteen, I was a size seventeen and thought of myself as a ugly, awkward teenager. I don't even know for sure what I weighed exactly at my heaviest because I was too ashamed to step on the scale. Something finally clicked for me one day and I started working out to become healthier, and before I know it I was losing weight. About halfway through my weight loss I went to my first belly dance class with a friend who wanted to go and never looked back. This dance gave me the self esteem that helped me through my teenage years and still gives me that to this day. I am now around fifty pounds lighter, and I love my body. Belly dancing has made me proud of it and amazed at what it can do. I have made friendships with amazing women that I would never have known if it was not for this dance. It has given me so many benefits that I cannot even begin to list them. My experience of the power of belly dancing makes me want to do nothing but share it with others, because every woman in this world deserves to feel beautiful.
