Freyja ~ Belly Dance - San Francisco Belly Dancer

Freyja's dancing career began in early childhood. Her mother studied and performed Flamenco Dance all over Spain and Europe in her younger years. Freyja's dance background includes ballet, jazz, hip hop, ballroom, salsa, club dancing, flamenco and Indian dance.

She has developed her own unique style, drawing from many of these sources. Freyja discovered belly dancing through her first teacher Ansuya, whose influence really colored her style in her early dancing career. She has studied American Cabaret, Turkish and Egyptian styles of belly dance as well as American tribal style, which later led to tribal fusion. Freyja has taken classes and workshops with Ansuya, Katherine Storen of Subee Djinn, Rachel Brice, Jill Parker of Ultra Gypsy, Heather Stants of Urban Tribal Dance Company and various other teachers. She has performed all over California, including the Staples Center (home of the LA Lakers), The Ford Ampitheatre and various restaurants and nightclubs. Freyja is credited with excellent technique and musical interpretation, crisp isolations and original innovative choreography.

As an instructor, she gives great presentation and breakdown of moves while emphasizing proper posture and movement to prevent injuries and muscle strength to aid in healing. She has made an extensive self study of anatomy, physiology and body mechanics and uses this knowledge to help her students master the motions and gain the needed strength and flexibility to improve their dance.
