 Rahana's Dance

Rahanas solo at Yalla Habibi 2005Rahana illuminates warmth and grace in the style of her dance. 
She is a professionally trained Belly Dancer who believes "the expression of passion is just as important as the movement of dance".
Rahana performs at many events throughout the year, entertaining audiences of all ages. She enjoys performing on stage as well as Birthday Celebrations, Anniversaries, Weddings, Baby Showers and Corporate events.

In 2001 Belly Dance became Rahana's life-long passion. Since joining the world of belly dance, Rahana has dedicated herself by embracing the opportunities to study with some of the most well-known and respected instructors in this beautiful & mystical art form. Rahana's first influence and instructor was the highly talented Ansuya of Miami.  After building a foundation in American Cabaret, Rahana joined Ansuya's troupe, Yaleil, under the direction of Akasha.
