I’m a professional belly dancer, choreographer, and international
judge from Ukraine. For over 20 years, Oriental dance has been my
passion, and for the past 15, I’ve been sharing it with women around
the world — helping them move beautifully, feel confident, and
reconnect with their feminine energy.
I am a two-time IDO World Champion (2012 & 2013), a three-time Dance
World Cup winner, and a five-time consecutive Ukrainian Belly Dance
Champion. These achievements represent years of dedication,
discipline, and passion for the art of Oriental dance.
As a teacher, I’m proud to see my students grow into confident,
expressive dancers — many of them have become champions and
prizewinners at international competitions. Sharing my knowledge and
passion is what truly fulfills me; helping others unlock their
potential through dance.
