She temporarily separated from the troupe to teach Belly Dancing at Bally’s Total Fitness and continue pursuing her studies at Miami Dade for about two years and often mentioned her desire to come back to the studio since it was "the place" to grow and keep her technique clean. She is continuing her growth at our studio. Her chief instructor is Irene Rimer. She's also had the pleasure to take classes with Tamalyn Dallal, Alicia, Alina, and Amalia Maya from what was formerly known as The Middle Eastern Dance Exchange.
