ABOUT SOOZ!

Sooz is a dedicated student & performer of tribal style bellydance. For the last 3 years
she has studied primarily tribal fusion bellydance with Rachel Lazarus Soto, after a year
of introductory courses in Cabaret style bellydance with Fahtiem. She initially found
tribal style bellydance on the internet, first discovering the acclaimed tribal troupe,
FatChanceBellyDance. Excited by the costuming, camaraderie and the empowerment she
felt from these dancers, she began to seek a teacher in Southern California to fill in the
blanks left by the videos she had been studying.

Weekly classes, endless rehearsals and countless performances with award winning
troupe, Devadasi & Blue Damsel have given Sooz valuable experience that has inspired
her to share what she knows with others. She is continually studying with many different
teachers in workshops & seminars to improve her technique and understanding of the
body’s movements. Sooz was recently certified in the FatChanceBellyDance General
Skills intensive. Currently, Sooz dances with Atash Maya tribal fusion bellydance & fire
performance located in San Diego, CA.

Sooz lives to make others laugh and wants to bring the joy of tribal bellydance to women in
Orange County and beyond. She hopes to help other women realize the changes in
attitude and confidence that she has seen in herself as a result of tribal bellydance. Most
importantly, she wants her students to unplug from the world for awhile and enjoy being
themselves.
