Inanna takes class regularly with leading local instructor Siham Ali and dances in her troupe.

Known in large part for her choreographic skills, Inanna's choreography has appeared at the Cleveland Performance Art Festival,
at the Lawrence (Kansas) Arts Center and in the City in Motion New Dance series, as well as in belly dance workshop shows
throughout the Midwest.

A writer as well as a dancer, Inanna once worked as a freelance dance critic for The Kansas City Star newspaper.
