how I got started
After my mom had been belly dancing for about 7
years, I decided to join her and add belly dancing to
the list of dancing forms I was already doing. I found a
talent and passion for this dance form and a love for
performing. I belly danced my way through high school,
and my Chemical Engineering studies which I’ve just
completed, and I’m not stopping any time soon! corporate clients
