Fusion Workshops with Naimah
Naimah comes to us from the Baltimore area. Her bellydance career began with Egyptian style Cabaret but after intensive study with many instructors from all over she has found her niche in the art of Modern Tribal style bellydance. Her moves have been compared to that of a "man eating plant" and a "mechanical snake". Learn more about Naimah at naimahdances.com and on YouTube.
