I discovered belly dance in 1997 and quickly fell in love with its music, artistry, and depth. What began as a fascination grew into a lifelong passion for learning, performing, and teaching.

Today, I specialize in Modern Egyptian belly dance and have dedicated nearly three decades to studying the art form with respected teachers from around the world. My greatest influence has been Suhaila Salimpour, with whom I have trained extensively as a Level 5 Authorized Instructor in the Salimpour School of Dance. I have also had the privilege of studying with renowned Egyptian master teacher Yousry Sharif, whose knowledge and artistry have further shaped my understanding of the dance.

As a teacher, my goal is to create classes that are both challenging and welcoming. I believe students learn best when they feel supported, encouraged, and inspired to grow. My classes emphasize strong technique, musicality, creativity, and thoughtful progression, helping dancers build confidence while developing a deeper understanding of the art.

I believe that some of the most meaningful moments in dance happen not only through personal achievement, but through the friendships and community that grow in the studio. Over the years, I've been fortunate to watch students connect and foster relationships with one another, that to me, is one of the true reasons why we dance. 

Whether you're stepping into your very first class or continuing your dance journey, my hope is that you'll find a place where you can challenge yourself, express yourself, and become part of a welcoming community that shares a love for this beautiful dance.

I look forward to dancing with you.
