About Samantha~I.Love.Dancing. It has brought me so much joy in my life and I’m uber excited to be sharing it with you all. From traditional movements in belly dance to fusion elements of recent dance forms, I just can’t get enough. I started learning belly dance, specifically, in 2006 with a goal in mind. When I was younger I had taken ballet, modern, tap, and baton twirling. As I reached my later years, I became involved with club dancing, marching band (don’t laugh), ballroom dancing, and salsa dancing. When I started belly dancing, something in me shifted that totally became a movement of expression in my life. My goal was to make this dance my own and take what I know and share it with others in a positive light.In 2013, I was crowned USA Belly Dance Queen. I was also recently featured in TLC's "Four Weddings" and it was fantastic to work with the bride and groom, who in fact won! My peers then nominated me for "Arizona's Favorite Oriental/Cabaret Dancer 2012" What an honor it was to be among the nominees.I currently teach all over the valley and have private lessons and am hired for private/corporation parties.
