My
Journey into dance began at a very young age with basic instruction in ballet
and jazz at Miss Pat’s Stage Door Studio in Easton, PA. Later, I trained
at Arthur Murray’s School of Dance and continued on to become a ballroom
instructor for beginning students. |

|
My
passion for the art was obvious and I very quickly became fluent in Fox
Trot, Swing, Merengue, Mambo, Tango, Samba, Waltz, Cha Cha, Rumba, the Hustle
and the popular Country Two Step. |

As
time went on, I continued my dance education and trained in Salsa and Belly
Dance by private instruction in Bethlehem, PA. Although I’ve enjoyed
learning the various types of dance, I’ve found Belly Dance to be
the most intriguing! I quickly advanced in the art and soon was delighted
to be participating in live performances. |

I
accompanied my instructor, Samara, during her regular engagements and soon
branched out as a solo performer. As a loyal student to the art of Belly
Dance, I am committed to expanding my training by continually attending
professional workshops and seminars. For this reason, I’ve had the
privilege of training under the direction of Belly Dance stars Mesmera,
Suzanna Del Vechio, Natica Angilly, and Suhaila Salimpour. |

Learning
specialized techniques, being educated in traditional concepts of Belly
Dance and excelling in modernized forms of choreography, has enabled to
be the versatile artist I have become. As an accomplished dancer, my performances
have been specially requested for community events, baby and bridal showers,
birthdays, and parades to name a few. Additionally, I’ve had the pleasure
of performing with my students, as we’ve been invited to dance in
places ranging from medieval dinner theaters to Christmas display windows,
as well as the local Arts festivals. |

My
greatest reward is in sharing my talents with others while inspiring them
to continue on with their own mesmerizing journey into the art of Belly
Dance! |
