I started belly dancing 10 years ago in Northern California.  My teacher was Sharon O’Meara, an incredible choreographer who founded the Shaken Not Stirred Middle Eastern Dance Ensemble.

After two years with Shaken Not Stirred, I ventured out on my own, co-directing Astarte with Denise Blasé, before solo-directing Real Hip Belly Dance.

I fused my influences – belly dance, hip-hop, and salsa – to create something sultry.  I currently teach and perform my fusion-style belly dance in Portland.  I am available for private classes and performances.  

I have a fun and personable teaching style, and I love bringing the art of belly dancing to my local community.
