Driven by my passionate love of dance, I am often reminded that at five years old I would dance unstoppably every time my uncle put on the Middle Eastern music! As a young adult I have also studied and greatly enjoyed Middle Eastern, Ballet, Contemporary, and Jazz Dance forms. Early training began at The New York School of Ballet, followed by Steps on Broadway, Broadway Dance Center, The Alvin Ail
ey School, Maja Bellydance, and Serena Studios. I went on to dance with the Boston Flamenco Ballet in a national tour of Don Quixote, The West Boca Theatre Company in Isn't it Romantic, The Hollywood Boulevard Theatre's In Black & White, The Colden Center's South pacific, and The Colden Center'sGuys & Dolls.
