| Zhenna Ever since I can remember, I have loved to dance. I was always choreographing my own videos in my bedroom and making up dances with my friends as a child. I never had formal dance training until high school when I audited modern dance classes at Ball State University, and then was President and choreographer for my high school dance club. I have been belly dancing since January of 2007 when I first heard about Carenza’s Caravan in Muncie, Indiana. I am so blessed to be a part of the Belly Dance community. My sisters in dance are a very integral part of my life and I treasure the hours I spend with them every week. I have been a member of Mashallah, the student troupe for Carenza’s Caravan, Ar-Raqis, the student troupe for Ancient Arts Dance Studio, and am now a professional member of Tantric Trio. My teachers have been (and still are) Carenza bint Asya, Ja’Niesa bint Asya, and Elizabeth Wray. Tribal fusion belly dance, veil, and skirt dancing are my current passions. I can’t wait to share my love of Middle Eastern dance with you! What does "Zhenna" mean? Heavenly |
