Arianna

ARIANNA

 founded Gypsy Fire dance studio in 1997.She began her dance training in 1969 in classical ballet, jazz and modern   She is very creative, naturally graceful and eloquent in her dance!
She began performing in 1970 in the Ozarks.  She continued studying ballet and began modern dance at Butler University and Southwest Missouri State U. through 1975.  Then in 1975, while in Missouri, she began her belly dance training in the classic Egyptian style with Diane Hawkins.  She continued studying modern and belly dance, taking classes and workshops. In 1997, she discovered American Tribal Style, fell in love with it and opened her dance studio.  Tribal belly dance encourages cooperation and communication instead of competition.  Group improvisation is a fabulous new development for any style of dance- it takes it to a new level and  brings excitement & fun to the performance!
