Alexandra enrolled in her first bellydance classes with Ilana Salazar in the summer of 2003 as a way to balance out student life. It ended up being love at the first shimmy.

In 2005, Alexandra started training with the wonderfully artistic Hannan Sultan. In 2006, she joined Hannan's newly formed troupe, The Sultanettes. As a senior member with the troupe, she performed at various community and charity events under the artisitic direction of both Hannan Sultan and Maha.

In 2007, Alexandra joined the Rhythm of the Nile Dance Company, directed by Nada El Masriya. She performed in the company's two productions: "Rhythm of the Nile" (2008) and "Ayyam Zaman" (2009).

Also as part of her training, Alexandra has taken classes and/or workshops with the following dancers and instructors: Abigail, Robyn, Zahira, Aziza, Jillina, Petite Jamila, Jim Boz, Tamalyn Dallal, Randa Kamal, Denise Enan, Caroline Labrie, Cassandra Shore, and Yasmina Ramzy.

Alexandra has studied with Hadia since 2008. She has completed all three levels of Hadia's Certificate of Teacher Training in Middle Eastern Dance. Her classes and workshops are all based on Hadia's "Body Logic" techniques and principles.

Alexandra taught Intro to Bellydance and Beginner Bellydance at the Danforth and Broadview location of Hannan's Bellydance Studio. She currently teaches out of Tandem Dance & Fitness Studios in the Yonge and Lawrence area, and other parts of the city on request.

Alexandra is committed to providing safe and efficient technique, as well as an encouraging, friendly and fun learning environment. She welcomes students from all walks of life, and continues to infuse her passion for dance by performing as a soloist and with the Alhambra Dance Company.

Thank you for visiting Dance with Alexandra, and happy dancing!
