 BELLY DANCING:
 Learn the captivating dance form of Egyptian Style Bellydance in class with Kristin!
Belly dance or as it is known in the Middle East, Raqs Sharqi (Dance of the East), is a beautiful and ancient art form that traditionally adorns family and community celebrations. Bellydance is a dance of isolation and depends on fine muscle control of the torso, arms, and hips, and on the interpretation of intricate music. Kristin Panylyk began her Bellydance training in January of 2003. Having dabbled in various dance forms such as tap, jazz and ballet she discovered the enchanting world of Orientale dance years later. Kristin performed with the Salsaddiction NYLA Team throughout 2007, including a performance at a World Salsa Congress in Puerto Rico and is currently a member of the Salsaddiction Rueda Team. Kristin also teaches bellydance at EdVenture Arts Academy and has performed as a soloist in Sevilla, Spain. She credits her dancing influences to Aldiya, Viraj, Aida Nour of Egypt and in particular to Aurora Ongaro. |
