Sidonia - Belly Dance Teacher


Sidonia began her dance career as a musician. She had always admired dancers but did not pursue dancing until she fell in love with the freedom of movement and expression in Raqs Sharki, or bellydance. She began studying the art form in late 2002 and was promptly invited to dance in a world fusion gypsy music and dance group called Labyrinthe, with whom she performed for several years.  She has performed at renaissance faires, conventions, weddings, restaurants, clubs, parties, and stage presentations. Her styles include a blend of Egyptian and American Oriental style bellydance, as well as Gothic Oriental which is influenced by Sidonia's study of Flamenco and Modern Dance.
