Susan Frankovich has studied many different styles of dance as well as martial arts since childhood. She credits Arianne Monti (former teacher and dance partner from Apsara Tribal Belly Dance Ensemble) for her strong foundation in American Tribal Style. Susan has developed her own unique "tribal stylings" and travels the world performing and teaching her take on Tribal Fusion Belly Dance. In 2002, she was coined "the biggest attraction of the Adriatic Coast" by Amsterdam's Elle Magazine during her nightly [residency/performances] at the famous Troubadour Live Jazz Cafe in Dubrovnik, Croatia. During her time in New York City, Susan was a dancer in the original PURE (Public Urban Ritual Experiment) branch and co-founded Alchemy Dance Theater with Sarah J. Locke. In 2005, she joined Bellyqueen and was a part of their first US tour, as a large ensemble, through the mid west and to Montreal. Although she had already left NYC, Susan was invited to be a part of their PEKO records DVD Bellyqueen: The Belly Dance Experience (2007). In 2006 she moved to the San Francisco Bay Area and performed with Electric Vardo and collaborated with solo artists Frederique, Elizabeth Strong, Mira Betz and Rose Harden, Sarah White, and Jill Parker of Ultra Gypsy.

Susan is currently living in Zagreb, Croatia teaching 10 classes per week, and traveling as often as possible to other cities and countries to share this dance form.

Susan is available for private instruction, workshops, and performances in Zagreb and around the globe.
