About me:

.. "There is a vitality, a life-force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost." Martha Graham


Irina is a belly dancer strongly influenced by tribal fusion style. Over the years, her dance transformed and evolved, pushing the boundaries of a particular style into the open space of dance as an art form. She began her path in belly dance through learning ATS and group improvisation first under the guidance of Susan Nicholson and then Joy Rayman. Irina traveled to workshops of Rachel Brice, Jill Parker, Heather Stants, Zoe Jakes, and other unique and skillful dancers who inspired her to work on her skills and performance. A few years ago, she discovered Suhaila Salimpour format and has been a dedicated student of Suhaila ever since. In August 2008, she received Level II Certification of the format and continues to deepen her practice in dance. Irina is a strong believer that the artistry of belly dance lays in the unity of technique and performance skills, and she is inspired to let her dance voice flow from the place of such unity.


Currently, Irina performs in and around New York City. She is a member of Alchemy Dance Theater and is fortunate to work with such talented dancers as Sarah Johansson Locke, Irina Akulenko, and Renata. She is also a member of Fire in the Belly, a Charlottesville-based fusion belly dance company.
