on Saturday, October 17, 2009 Aradia will travel from Las Vegas, NV to Habeeba's Dance of the Arts studio and teach a fabulous 5-hour workshop! Later that evening she will join us for two professional performances as well as many other recognizable, talented artists. On Sunday, October 18 she will give the same seminar - you can choose which day you want to work with her. You won't want to miss this!

Aradia has performed as a soloist through out the United States, Egypt and Switzerland. She has danced at many of the top hotels, restaurants and clubs in Las Vegas, as well as performing for Celine Dion's wedding, BlockBusters premiere opening for "The Mummy" and several TV spots on the Discovery and Bravo Channel. She is a sought after instructor and choreographer, her professionalism and friendly personality make her one of the most requested dancers in Las Vegas. Aradia's love for Middle Eastern dance began at the age of 7 when she witnessed her first performance. The passion and beauty of the dance sent her running home to her family asking to be enrolled in "Belly Dance" classes. Over 20 years later, Aradia is still as passionate about this art as ever. Her style is a mixture of Arabic and Turkish cabaret, with an authenticity appreciated by her Middle Eastern audiences. She has diligently worked to become a well-rounded dancer in Egyptian, Lebanese and Turkish oriental dance as well as the many folkloric dances that comprise the Middle East. She has refrained from studying any of the classical dance forms, such as ballet and jazz, in an attempt to maintain a purity in her dance style. Aradia's performances, full of energy and strength, and coupled with fluid technique, express her extensive training, as well as her sheer joy that is evident in her smile.
