Mirjana is a Middle-Eastern dance instructor and performer originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She strives to share her knowledge and love for the graceful and vibrant art of the dance with students and audiences alike, teaching belly dance classes for the Dance Alloy of Pittsburgh and directing Sahara Dance Troupe. Mirjana has studied with famed Egyptian instructors Ragia Hassan, Mona El Said, Mahmoud Reda, Dr. Mo Geddawi and Yousry Sharif among others. Her travels have taken her to Egypt and Greece as well as across the U.S. to witness and experience the dance in its native and hybrid forms as well as to study and perform.
Mirjana has been bellydancing for over 10 years. She specializes in "Egyptian cabaret" but teaches and performs a wide range of styles including gypsy and folkoric.
Roxelana (teaching assistant) has been bellydancing for around 10 years, learning the dance from family members and teachers throughout Chicago, the Midwest and East Coast. Though trained in many different styles of Middle Eastern dance, her focus is mainly on Cabaret, Modern, and Turkish Gypsy.
Classes are well organized into warm-ups (strengthening, toning, and stretching exercises to prepare the body for dance), technique (learning the fundamental positions and movements for improvisation and choreography), and choreography (learning actual performance quality dance numbers). Students will also learn to work with veil and finger cymbals.
Classes are held in the beautiful and spacious studios of Dance Alloy Theater located in the Friendship area of Pittsburgh (Negley & Penn). Private lessons are also available. To register for classes, call Dance Alloy at 412-363-4321.
