About Us
My whole life, I've dreamed of teaching dancing to the world. To empower a person to move in a way to make others feel awesome about life, to tell a story through movement. I started with modern dancing late in my high school years and did not truly got the feeling I was looking for, but then I found Middle Eastern dance.
Middle Eastern dance is also called Oriental dance or more commonly known as “belly dance”.
The field of Middle Eastern Dance is so rich with regional styles, and in these modern times have become an excellent way for women to get together and celebrate the benefits of this dance as a workout and an art form.
It's all about how magical we feel when we're in the flow of the rhythm and the harmony. It's a chance to celebrate all the things we say we want – harmony, vibration, expression, community and connection with the forces of the Universe. It's also a chance to be spontaneous and live in the moment – surrendering to life's possibilities.
That's one of the most powerful things about this dance form – the opportunity it gives us to be fully present in the here and now.
I got introduced to this art form in 2006 studying with a South African belly dancer, Wilma Breytenbach. My intense studying of the art form started, when I attended a workshop with one of my mentors, Paola Blanton. The way she moved, just made me feel like I also want to do just that, get that feeling of freedom. She introduced me to my other mentor, Keti Sharif.
Her A-Z system learned me so much more of this art from by how it articulates groups of compatible movements and provides dancers with excellent embodied knowledge of Cabaret, Folkloric, Taqsim and Theatrical styles. Not only this, but practising a well-articulated form that gives the dancer an excellent platform for improvisation, which is the soul of this dance form.
I am currently in the process to get certified as a Teacher instructor of the Keti's A-Z Belly dance system.
