Make your party the event of the year with Portland's premier belly dancer Malia.
I have been performing, teaching, choreographing, producing, and traveling all things Middle Eastern dance for over 21 years. Rich, organic sounds. Fluid, sensuous movement. Carefully curated for you and your guests, my show captivates attendees young and old alike. My goal is to leave you and your guests with an experience they'll talk about for years to come.
I hold three formal teaching certifications from world renown master instructors, am the creative director and choreographer for Nornir Dance Company, and have a BS in Biology from the University of Washington. I've had the honor to perform for the Consul of Oman and the Minister of Culture of Tanzania. Over the years I have taught hundreds of students, directed successful dance troupes, been repeatedly selected as a competition judge, and produced stage shows elevating the art of raqs sharqi, including one held at the prestigious Seattle Art Museum. I have been featured in The Columbian, The Seattle Times, King 5 News, The Belly Dance Chronicles, Sequins & Shimmies, and graced the cover of Belly Dance Japan.
