About Jennifer
How I Came To Bellydance
I began belly dancing in mid-2007. I moved to Orlando, FL to begin college and was looking for a fun way to make friends and stay fit. I had been a musician all my life and was accustomed to working alongside 45-120 musicians daily. Moving to Orlando, where I knew no one was quite the change. I decided to go to a nearby salsa studio to try something new, but I knew I had not found my next passion.
As I left the studio after my salsa class, there was a small poster promoting belly dance classes. I decided to try the class the following week. That is when I met my first belly dance instructor, Jolie of Elements of Dance who completely changed my life.
As I immersed myself into bellydance, I found a higher level of confidence, artistic expression, and happiness I could not describe. The music was rich and exotic and I fell in love with the movements. I knew this would be a challenge, and that is precisely what I loved about this genre.
Creating My Own Style
Taking my keen ear for music and my disciplined nature, I began working diligently to one day become a respected belly dancer in my industry and be able to showcase the music precisely with my body.
My style can be described as elegant, abdominal heavy, and soulful.
Mission
It is my goal to provide culturally respectful belly dance shows that showcase dances from the Middle East and the Mediterranean to families through a luxury show format that respects the culture it hails from.
As a dancer, I also seek to respect the composer and composition to fulfill the vision of the music.
Where Are You From?
I get asked this question all of the time. I am of Colombian heritage, which plays a big role in who I am as an entertainer. Hard work, emotionality, and having fun define who I am and flow into all aspects of my company. I have no Middle Eastern ancestry, so I have made it a point to work very hard, travel to the countries Bellydance has hailed from and to study and dance with those of MENAHT descent. I continue to train and study every year. It is my life.
