I started taking classes 5 years ago. I always loved to dance any kind of music. I saw an ad about belly dance classes, signed up, and started taking class with Raven. I fell in love with Middle Eastern music. I invited a friend, Zarah, and she started dancing as well.

We are a group of women who love to dance and enjoy life. Dancing helps me relax and let’s me be myself. I also enjoy sewing and making my costumes. My son helps me pick my music and my mother helps me pick out my colors and costumes.

Performing is the most exciting time for me. You can see all the hard work and time we spend practicing pay off. My family enjoys watching us dance. A special thanks to them because they have been avid supporters of the troupe and are at every show.
