Genevieve

I have enjoyed dancing my whole life. I had formal dance training in ballet, and also studied Irish step, modern, salsa and swing dancing. I have studied and practiced yoga since 1995. I also recently started hoop dancing!

In 2003 I saw one of Narah's flyers and decided to try belly dance. I had been interested in belly dance because of its history as a means of preparation for childbirth. I also thought it would be good excersise and a fun form of dancing. I didn't know it would be addictive (:

In April of 2004 I did my first performance with my fellow classmates. Since then I have performed at several locations as well as in Narah's Fire of the Soul tour.

I started teaching belly dance in 2008 because I love this dance form so much and want everyone else to have the opportunity to experience the many amazing benefits it brings!

In additon to dancing I am an RN, MSN and Family Nurse Practitioner.

Krisy

Krisy and Andi have been dancing for seven years. They started taking classes with Narah and have been hooked on belly dance ever since. As mother and daughter, they now travel to numerous workshops all over the eastern United States. They teach basic beginner classes/workshops in central West Virginia. Together, they never miss an opportunity to tell people the benefits of belly dancing and physical fitness.
