To me, Kalianna embodies quiet strength and perseverance. She's a lovely dancer and is truly dedicated to the art of bellydance. She's open to trying all sorts of new things, and that's one of the traits I find most admirable in any person. She's well-versed in a variety of bellydance techniques, focusing on whatever suits her at the moment.

I really admire Kalianna for "telling it like it is" and for going out of her way to nurture our central Illinois bellydance community. She's a real asset!
