| Ja'Niesa bint Asya I love to entertain, dance, and teach to others the joy and mystique of Middle Eastern Oriental Dance! My passion in Middle Eastern Oriental Dance includes Raqs Sharqi, Cabaret, Turkish Romany, Tribal Fusion, Sword, Zills, Veil, and Fan. My Instructors and Mentors are Carenza bint Asya, Dunya Alamira, Leila Gamal, and Kimahri. In addition to these instructors I have also trained in workshops and classes under Artemis Mourat; Zoë Jakes, Moria Chappell, and Sonya of the Belly Dance Superstars; Onca; Blue Lotus Tribe; and a Middle-Eastern Favorite, Yael Becker. Currently I am a member of the Tantric Trio, Director of Ball State University Belly Dance Troupe, Co-Director Ancient Arts Dance Studio, Daturra, and formerly Carenza’s Caravan. Come try a lesson with me at Ball State University’s Belly Dance Club on Thursday evenings! Do something wonderful for your body, mind, and soul. Become a part of a tradition that is centuries older than yourself! Yallah Habibi!!! What does Ja'Niesa bint Asya mean? Ja’Niesa: Funny, loving, hyper child. Bint Asya: Taken from my instructor Carenza Bint is Arabic for "Daughter of" Asya in Arabic is a variation of the word Asia meaning "lively" or "resurrection" Email Ja'niesa |
