Stephanie has loved dancing and music since the age of five. She has performed extensively in ethnic dance, swing, and, of course, belly dancing. She studied Arabic tabla to further refine her interpretation of the rhythms and is thrilled to have performed in Egypt and Turkey. She is passionate about helping everyone find the confidence and appreciate the beauty that we all have within.
