RAQS SHARQI was the first dance genre I learned. When I hear Middle Eastern music, my heart swells with love and emotion. While my professional career in musical theatre & on camera acting gave me years of stage time, belly dancing is in fact very personal for me. I feel beautiful when I dance and proud of my culture!
