Diana began studies in Middle Eastern dance in the ‘70s and continues to study with major Middle Eastern dancers to sharpen her skills. She has taught dance since age 15 and enjoys introducing all age groups to this wonderful art. Diana was a regular club performer during the ‘80s and ‘90s, and now devotes herself to teaching and performing at selected venues. In 2003, she was granted permission from Yasmina Ramzy of Toronto, Canada, to recreate Yasmina’s dance, “Venus,” from the Descent of Ishtar Ballet, which was critically acclaimed, for members of her performance group, Mezza. Diana is versed in many dance forms and brings this expertise to the art of belly dance. |
