Female

24

I enjoy both cabaret and tribal fusion styles of belly dance and believe that the art celebrates both the strength and grace of the feminine spirit. In 2007 my passion for the dance took her to all the way to Rakkasah, the world’s largest Middle Eastern Belly Dance Festival. I have taken classes and workshops from a variety of noted instructors including Ariellah, Zoe Jakes, Kami Liddle, Jim Boz, Fahtiem, Susan Delvecchio, Jamila Salimpour, and Ansuya.

As an artist I also pull from my collegiate training in jazz dance, modern dance, and ballet. I a humble student of the Suhaila Salimpour School of Dance, in Berkely, CA.

This past January I was the second young woman to present the art of belly dance on the Miss America stage (as Miss Montana 2008). I am currently working on my master’s degree in communication studies at the University of Montana.

Feel free to contact me in regards to belly d events, workshops, classes, etc!\

Best wishes!
