Spotlight Dancer/Troupe
Suspira

Suspira has loved the art of dancing all her life. Enchanted by her aunt and sister who were beautiful ballerinas, she begged her mother for dance lessons and began her study of Classical Ballet at age 5. The lessons soon expanded to gymnastics, tap, jazz, African, and modern dance. Suspira began choreographing for local theater groups at age 12, and teaching at age 15. As a dance major in college, she was granted several talent award scholarships and was given the opportunity to work with incredible dancers and companies from around the country, including Alvin Ailey, Elizabeth Streb's Ringside and Jose Limon.

Captivated by the beautiful music of the Orient, Suspira began to stray from her Classical roots and developed an intense interest in Bellydance. Falling in love with Arabic music, she knew she had found her true heart in the dances of the Middle East, and later could not resist claiming it as her life's work.

Now a full time professional belly dancer and instructor, she is still constantly working to improve and perfect her craft. Suspira can be seen dancing daily at the Walt Disney World Resort in Epcot's Moroccan Pavilion, and at many local Middle Eastern restaurants. She has performed for Saudi Arabian Royalty, the former President of Turkey, the Prince of Morocco and many celebrities including George Lucas, Kelly Ripa, John Stamos, Montell Williams, Cheb Khaled and Mayor Rudoph Guliani.

With over 15 years of experience in dance instruction, Suspira finds nothing more rewarding than passing on this beautiful and empowering art form to other women. Her passion for teaching leading her, she founded Orlando Bellydance - an exclusive school of Middle Eastern Dance that now holds over 500 students, ranging from beginning to professional. She is also the artistic director and choreographer for the performance groups, Troupe Ahlaam and Orlando Dance Theatre (www.bellydanceorlando.com) and they have quickly gained local and national attention, and have been featured on Arabic television..

Suspira would like to thank all her fellow sisters of the dance who have offered her friendship and inspiration over the years, and to extend a warm welcome to all the newcomers to this beautiful art form.
