Greek, Turkish, Arabic, or classic American Cabaret bellydance performances! She has a bellydance troupe, Belly Dance Delight, for your larger events. This spring they will be at festivals up and down the East Coast, performing and teaching. In Baltimore, catch them at all 3 days of Artscape - 7pm in front of Penn Station!

'You and your troupe are so much fun to watch. You, however, are the Quintessential American Bellydancer - the long flaxen hair, the very energetic, interactive, and fun loving performance. Love the tambourine rendition! You ladies are great!'
-Amira Ahzhar, dancer
'You are the most dramatic dancer I know-even the way you use your face!'
- Melissa Murphey of the band Ishtar www.ishtar-music.com
'When you danced to Samadhi, my heart nearly stopped.'
- Charlie, musician
'I was moved almost to tears by your veil dance.'
- Mariza, dancer
We hope that hearts do not actually stop, and the tears don't quite fall- both those comments were inspired by the very inspiring song, Samadhi, an original by the local band DragonSong, www.myspace.com/dragonsongband
Nina has been dancing at NASA Goddard, at the Meyerhoff, Flowermart, Faerie Festivals and private parties this spring- catch her in College Park on 8/28 at the Mossaic Cafe!
She has been featured on WBAL's Magazine on TV Hill, Fox News and in the Towson Times cover story 'Navel Maneuvers'. Here's a picture from that story (photo courtesy of Dev- Inspire Studios):
Nina Amaya teaches belly dance at Studio Nina Amaya in Towson, and at area workshops. A party can include lessons - perfect for a bachelorette party, or a woman’s birthday party! Sorry guys, unless you are gay, Nina will not perform at your bachelor party.

'I truly enjoyed your class. I think you are an excellent teacher. You are able to provide detailed instruction, yet can go with the flow when the veil does what it wants to and not what you intended. You are patient and fun.' - Marty
'My favorite thing about your veil course was your enthusiasm. You are a great teacher and so willing to share your wealth of information.
I especially liked learning a new move - the 5 star.
I would highly recommend your class to a friend.
'- Donna
