All of the dance choreographies below were created for group or solo performance for belly dancers. I created them alone or in a collaborative group setting. The choreographies I created in groups are noted below. Thank you in advance for your consideration for the low-residency MFA program at Jacksonville. I would be honored to join the 2020 cohort.

This piece was choreographed in the style of American Cabaret with Traditional Raks Sharki influences to demonstrate usage of silk veil.

A throwback to Moroccan floor work, this piece was created to emulate the idea of "snake" in both skin shedding, movement, and interaction with an angenue character.

These two pieces go from one into the other. The first is a "fusion" choreography with tribal belly dance, flamenco and chinese traditional dance influences describing the legend of a dragon swallowing the sun. The followup dance, features fire "elementals" reactions to this action. I am fusing tribal style belly dance with the Egyptian folkloric dance and martial art, tahtib, while the other dancers are performing in American Cabaret and Raks Sharki styles with Tribal influence at the end of the piece.

The above three pieces were group collaborations. The first piece is raks sharki with veil, the second is mahraganat, or "electro shabbi" with tribal style dance, and the final piece is raqs sharki.

This is a lyrical fusion I created for these two belly dance artists who wanted to expand their range of motion to include some contemporary elements. I joined them to finish the "witch sisters" motif.
