| Andrea | |
Andrea has always been fascinated by belly dance performers and their smooth, yet  distinct movements. She was further drawn in by the flexibility and beauty that these strong women possessed. To start dancing, she began teaching herself through training videos and fundamentals training until she was ready to take classes. After the first class - she was hooked. Throughout the beginning months of dance training, she could feel the positive effects of belly dance and physically watched her body transform and knew she would be dancing for years to come. Among the many forms of belly dance, she favors the Egyptian style because it demands tremendous technique that encourages continuous learning. She enjoys being in a constant state of discovery and always ready to learn more. |
| Daniele |
Daniele Vosler was born and raised in the exotic paradise that is Brazil. The Brazilian culture immersed her into the fire of the arts, which sparked a passion for culture, languages and Latin dances at a very early age. She started by learning the typical dances of her multicultural country, such as Samba, Axe, Salsa, etc…However, it was in the art of Belly Dancing that she found her biggest passion. When she turned 20 years old, one of her best friends invited her to try out a belly dance class at a local studio.
The rhythm, the music, all mixed with the most feminine and sensual movements of the dance have left her dancing ever since. In Brazil, she performed at theatres, parties, restaurants, clubs, etc. Today her passion for culture and dance has led her to dance as a certified Zumba Instructor at Abby Bella’s Dance Studio. Her fun, extroverted, and upbeat style will make you keep wanting more and more! |
