Female

The development of Hajjara’s dance life has definitely been unusual; from Burlesque to Ballet to Bellydance, it is a strange, yet natural progression. During the 1990's she created characters & costumes for the Burlesque stage. This experience helped develop an alluring stage persona which audiences find engaging & playful. Striving to improve her dance technique, Hajjara began learning Ballet movement under the direction of Kathryn Irie of Stage Seven in San Diego, CA, while also studying garment design at Mesa College. Sharing her mother’s passion with performing arts, she has been following a path paved with rhinestones back to her Middle Eastern roots, finding a true calling in Bellydance. Cross-training with yoga, Hajjara's approach to the dance is athletically specific, fostering impeccable muscle control. This level of dedication brings dimension & nuance to her dancing. Among her illustrious trainers & divine inspirations we find Maya Plisetskaya, Catherine D'Lish, Jamila & Suhaila Salimpour, Zahra Zuhair, & Aubre Hill. Dance troupe affiliations include Bal Anat, Eshta Dance Company, Arabesque Dancers, Cabaret Arabia, & Lumina Bellydance Company. She performs throughout Los Angeles, & can be seen on the Fit TV series "All-Star Workouts": Bellydance Fitness. Autumn of 2004, Hajjara ventured onto the world stage performing with the twelve-piece Arabic-fusion band Oriental Mood. She joined the band on their European tour performing for Berlin's Prix Europa Festival, broadcast live across the European Union. Possessing an undeniable sensuality, Hajjara’s unique qualities create an irresistible combination of sparkling costume design and pure joy of dance.
