About
My passion in Belly dance started since I turned 13
I took classes first in Ukraine and than in USA with World Champions, winners of plenty competitions and just famous dancers such as Randa Kamal, Mohamed Shahin, Tito Seif, Dr Gamal, Anna Borisova, Marta Korzun, Yuliya Yakoviyk, Elena Ramazanova, Diva Darina, Mercedes Nieto and many other great dancers.
For a long time I was looking for my style, what my soul is closer to. First i tried to copy famous Belly dancers, what was really a bad idea. Then I tried to make my own, and that is the best what every dancer can do!
And while teaching students I don't make them copy me or somebody else. I teach how to find personal unique style highliting your best sides (and body and manner of dancing).
I do all my best to make you rememberable!
