For intimate events I usually perform a belly dance show which starts with a veil entrance, a prop dance or drum solo, and audience participation featuring the guest of honor. After the performance, I'll take pictures with guests. (20 min)

For weddings or larger events, I will perform a belly dance show with multiple props and can include special request regional songs. The performance is concluded with a fun song that gets the crowd up and dancing! After the show, I'll take pictures with guests. (30 min)

I started belly dancing in 2008 and my first instructor said my snake arms (my weakest movement at the time) would one day be like those of Rachel Brice... I said to myself "Rachel, who?" I looked her up and immediately knew exactly who I wanted to be like when I "grew up". I have since aspired to be a Fusion Performance Artist. I studied Raqs Sharqi, American Cabaret, took workshops in classical Egyptian... went to many festivals and conventions to learn from whoever I could, before finally studying Fat Chance Belly Dance® Style under the Blue Lotus World Dance Company in Saint Augustine, Florida and later studying Modern Fusion under Lacey Sanchez of Wild Garden Bellydance in Orlando, Florida. In 2018, I finally met and took a master class with Rachel Brice. Now when I attend festivals and conventions, I continue my studies in many fusion subgenres that involve Hip Hop, Afro-Fusion and Latin-Fusion, which adds an extra "kick" to any event I entertain at.
