discipline: the ancient art of Belly Dancing.
She began her studies in Belly Dance with Zahara

Her fascination with Belly Dance has compelled her to share this passion with others. Sirena has been graced
with the opportunity to teach Belly Dance since 2004. She is also an instructor on Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines
International. Her teaching assignment will take her to the cradles of the craft: Egypt, Turkey and the Greek Isles.
She has earned a reputation as one of the most popular instructors in the local area. As the director of the dance
troupe, Sahara Sirens, her artistry has inspired students and audiences. Her innovative choreography has a lyrical
quality that interprets the subtlest nuances of the music. Her style reflects the ancient tradition enriched with
contemporary elements.
As a performing artist, she is sought after for a variety of entertainment venues (see Performances link).
Blending glamour and grace, her soulful expression of the music creates a spellbinding effect.
Sirena is a member of New England PURE: Public Urban Ritual Experiment. PURE is a collective of dancers and drummers who take
music and dance out into the streets for the purposes of healing and peace. The PURE community brings awareness, beauty and change
to the world through the power of music and dance.
Sirena also serves as the treasurer for the CT chapter of the Northeast Belly Dance Association (NBDA).
