Description
I am a New York City-based performing artist specializing in “belly” dance. I create, teach, and perform traditional dances from the Middle East as well as innovative artistic work. Having trained early in ballet and gymnastics, I am known for graceful carriage, fluid precision, musicality, and unusual flexibility. I began my dance career in Washington, DC, and relocated to New York City in 2002.
A lifelong dancer, I began to study ethnic dance in the ‘90s. My formal training includes numerous Arabic, Turkish, and Iranian classical, social, and folk styles; Uzbek and other Central Asian dance; Georgian, Armenian, and other Caucasus-region dance; flamenco; kathak and other Indian dance; and intensive study in Middle Eastern dance and dance education with Michelle Forner from 1997-1999.
I was a principal dancer of Washington, DC's Silk Road Dance Company (directed by Laurel Gray) from 2000-2002, and danced with Mosaic Dance Theater (a New York City company featuring the choreography of Samara) from 2004-2006.
