I was raised dancing and have taken lessons since I was 4 years old! I've studied hula, tahitian, ballet, jazz, as well as bellydance. Currently I dance with Ayse Cerami as a duet, the Sisterhood Dance collective and She'enedra.
My on going classes in belly dance are Monday nights 7:30pm at the Ara Dance Studio

AND Saturday Mornings at the Agoura Hills Calabasas Rec Center starting in January

I've also taught several workshops at belly dance events nationally & internationally, including Tribal Caravan in California, Tribal Ford in Great Britain, the IBDC in Las Vegas, Bedouin Bazaar in San Diego.

About me: I was very fortunate to win the Oasis for Charity Belly dance award, and have chosen Doctors Without Borders as my charity.
I belong to a wonderful belly dance troupe of true friends and wonderfully artistic people it's called She'enedra which is a Romany word meaning blood sisters by oath. These gals are my blood sisters!
