MY EXPERIENCE

I started my bellydancing journey at the age of 4 by studying the art of Classical Egyptian Bellydance as the protege to “Aziza of Birmingham.” After 17 years of Tap, Jazz, Contemporary and Musical Theater I went off to college and continued to train at the University of Alabama where I received a BA in Nutrition and in Dance Performance, learning under Cornelius Carter of Alvin Ailey! This is when I began creating the JBelly Style! 

SINCE GRADUATING, I'VE HAD A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES TO BE GRATEFUL FOR!

Here are a few of my faves: 

​

• Traveled all over the United States and abroad teaching and performing  with “Showstoppers On Tour” and on my own. 

• Featured in my first international T-Mobil commercial with artist J.Balvin 

• Made New York my home and I enjoy connecting to my students of all ages and abilities at the world famous Broadway Dance Center and Alvin Ailey Extension, NYC

• Choreographer to International Moroccan vocal artist Abir

• Featured in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 3 working with renowned choreographer Marguerite Derricks

• Featured on Good Morning America with Derek and Julianne Hough while working with the Tabitha and Napoleon

• Featured in the video of the hit single “YOGA” with Janelle Monae

• Gain my YTT200 HR Yoga Alliance Certification 

THE COVID PIVOT

When Covid hit, we all had to pivot a bit! I saw it as a huge opportunity to create a virtual classroom so that we could continue to dance and create together while spreading joy and love! This was a dream of mine and COVID really gave me that push to just go for it! Now I am bringing the classes to YOU, beauty! Experience a class from around the globe, or in the comfort of your own home!  

LET'S DANCE, BEAUTY!

Whether you want to pursue a professional career or simply want to cultivate deep joy and self love - my classes were made for YOU! 

Let's Be Friends!
