My Bio
I was born in Santos, on the south coast of Sao Paulo-BR, on July 22, 1987. The BellyDance always aroused some fascination and after majored in Business Administration, in 2010 I started to study Racks el Sharqi in Hajla Studio.
As time passed the admiration and desire to evolve only grew. In 2012 I chose to take the next step and began studying at the Luxor School of Belly Dancing, with teachers Amara Saadeh, Esmeralda Saadeh, Hafiza Nawar and Hana Hassani. I stayed there for five years, where I participated in various workshops, presentations, as well as I was invited to participate in the Teacher Formation Trainee of the Luxor Schools. I also had the opportunity to study with renowned national teachers such as Mahaila El Helwa, Esmeralda Colabone, Munira Magharib, Kahina BellyDance and internationally such as Tito Seif (Egypt), Darina Konstantinova (Ukraine) and Amir Thaleb (Argentina).
After completing the teacher trainee, in 2017, aiming at professionalization, I began to study with teachers Gabh Diniz and Tarik Dance. The experience was incredibly useful, because besides the teachings I had the opportunity to compete against professionals in events like the Persian Market, Shimmie Festival, among others. This last experience gave me the impetus I needed towards professionalization. It was then that in 2017 I chose to seek the Professional Registry along with the SINDDANCA - Professionals Dance Union of Sao Paulo State. After get that I started private classes and for regular classes!
I currently participate in competitions, presentations, parades, shows and I teach at Kitri Dance Studio in Mairipora and Coppélia Ballet in Atibaia.

Sword
This type of Sword is made with stainless steel blade, leather cord and brass. It is specifically designed to be balanced on the body of the dancer in the horizontal position. Usually a dancer who dances with Sword performs her movements balancing her on the head, waist, feet and arms. In addition to balancing it, the dancer also moves with the Sword in the air and performs other movements characteristic of belly dancing such as eights, rounds, undulations, shimmies, among others.
Stick
The Stick used In belly dance applies exclusively folk style. The most common is made of bamboo, which can be decorated with sequins and other adornments. Using a simple or decorated Stick is a matter of suitability to the costume or idea that you want to pass, and in addition the Stick can be made of synthetic material as well. In Stick dance, the dancer usually wears a long tunic known as galabeya or galabia, a hip scarf with coins and a headscarf, which is traditional but not compulsory.
Veils
Silk | Wings | Fan Veil
The veil in Belly Dancing is like an extension of the dancer, from her arms, providing an air of mystery, lightness and charm. In this dance, the most common veil is that of silk. However, there is still the fan veil, which is nothing more than a common fan used to fan in the heat, with a veil at the tip, and the wings veil, which has a type of "sewn" stick on each side of the part higher. These three types of veil can be customized and customized to fit the costume or theme.

Finger Zills
Finger Zills are metal cymbals, used a pair on each hand. One of them attaches to the middle finger and the other to the big toe by means of a rubber band. They can be played by the musicians, or by the dancer herself while dancing. As such, they are used both as accessories and instruments as well.
Riq
The Riq is a scenic prop used by the dancer while dancing. It is most used in folklore and is played only in a few moments to make the markings of the song. That is, it does not play full time as the musician does with Riq. Thus, the Riq is both a scenic accessory and an instrument.
Goblet of Fire
Its origin is not known for sure, but they are believed to have arisen in the West. Candles with candles light the dancer and also the atmosphere. They are generally used to dance at weddings, birthdays ... During dancing, the bowls are balanced on parts of the dancer's body, such as thighs, belly etc.
Clay Vase
It is used in a dance that celebrates the floods of the Nile River, a cheerful dance and its costumes keeps the belly covered and are composed of dresses. It is believed that it all started with women who went to the rivers in search of water and returned balancing the heavy jugs with the liquid to their villages.
Shamadan
The Shamadan was used in dances of Egyptian marriages. Before the use of electricity, the dancers danced an illuminated Shamadan on their heads to illuminate the faces of the bride and groom during their first appearance. Currently the Shamadan is an accessory that the dancer uses, with candles lit, on the head.
Cane
Canes, both in origin and composition, closely resembles the staff. It can be decorated with various embellishments depending on the purpose. It is the female version of a stick used in the dance Tahtib, a dance originating in northern Egypt between Giza and Edfu, where shepherds surrounded the herds with a stick.
One of the main characteristics of belly dancing is the costumes, which are mostly well-adorned, beautiful, made in many colors and styles. During belly dance classes, simple clothes can be worn with the adornments of a hip scarf with small "coins" or beaded, in order to better hear the hip movements in time with the music. The costumes for presentations reflect the rich cultural history of belly dancing and variations can be found depending on the country of origin.
We have listed below some costumes:
Egyptian
Egyptian belly dance costumes are often seen is often portrayed with a form-fitting top and hip-hugging skirt; some of the more traditional costuming have a netting or translucent fabric over the midriff connecting the two. Other more Western looks have the top and skirt completely separate with a bare midsection (the “Bedlah” style). The ultimate in elegance, these creations are born to accentuate and compliment the more subtle Egyptian movements – yet nothing is subtle about these sensual and come-hither costume designs. When looking for an Egyptian outfit, rules are made to be broken!
Fusion
Fusion Belly Dance is comprised of traditional belly dance steps combined into either another dance style (Spanish, Indian, Brazilian, Ballroom, etc.) or even with Martial Arts. So… the costuming can depend upon the look desired to reflect the merging of the styles. What, really? Maybe not! Okay. Here, the sky is truly the limit! One way to begin is to explore the theme of the dance you are envisioning, and clothe yourself in a belly dance costume accordingly. Wait! That angle will not calm your inner rebel! Go for it – test several looks, and then flaunt them all.
Gypsy
The Gypsy (Roma) dances are gleaned from nomadic groups who traveled along the Silk Road from India to Spain. These free spirits adapted folkloric dance moves from every village and clan, creatively adapting them to their own musical compositions (also largely appropriated). The costuming, of course, is likewise radically diverse, whether it’s incorporated into amateur or professional belly dance costumes, reflecting the changes in climate as well as the ethics and virtues of the lands they covered. To dress for the Gypsy look, you really need flashes of color and movement – a layering of garments ranging from worsted cotton to lace.
Tribal
ATS (American Tribal Style) is created from a series of steps, mostly exaggerated, that are performed in sync by a group of dancers. A mostly unnoticed method of signaling (cues), is transmitted around the troupe beginning with the leader, and keeps the “tribe” performing almost magically in unison. In the truest sense of this genre, you and your tribal sisters may want to agree to select costuming tribal belly dance costumes that are that is similar (especially in skirt size and movement), yet contrasting in colors and accoutrements. But, get the edge!
Folk Dance
The folk dances usually portray the customs or rituals of a certain region and, therefore, different garments are used of the classic belly dance. Some of the dances are: Riq Dance, Jug Dance, Flower Dance, Bat Dance, Khaleege Dance, Curled Veil Dance (Meleah Laff).
Shaabi
The costume for the Shaabi dance is quite undefined, but the general rule is that some kind of street costume is worn. What is well defined is that one does not wear a traditional belly dance costume and not even any item related to folklore. Most dancers wear jeans, a T-shirt or cut jacket, and a belt (a normal belt, for day-to-day use). Sometimes the dancers increase these pieces with rhinestones or something, but it is not necessary.
