A bellydance instructor at Marcellus Dance Studio, in Forestville Maryland I began to implement an enhanced approach toward this art form; diversified my training to be a certified "Sharqui" Instructor "The Bellydance Workout". Privileged to have studied with such instructors as Tarik Sultan, Oreet, Djenaba Bryant, Morocco, Somra El Nubia and Nabeela El Shalimar to name a few.

Belly dancing expands much further into my community, including “It’s All About Us” an educational mentorship program for all goddess teens. Improving literacy in areas such as reading and finance, and volunteering to keep young people engaged academically in education by reading to children at our local elementary schools. Leading a natural cleaning service for stay at home moms, home schooled children and daycares. (The Nxt Generation) Not forgetting those who are in greater need by preparing food at our local shelter and aiding those who are in crisis.
Behind my pride there lives a me, that knows humility… passion and “femininity".
