Estrella Tribal Bellydance

Ann (Anashé) has been dancing since the age of 5, beginning with classical and jazz ballet. After many years, she wanted a change and started to look around for a different dance style. This journey took her to a few years of control dance (a class fusing different styles such as R&B, jazz, dance, and hip hop). In 2008 she decided to try a belly dance class and absolutely loved it.

Ann trained in Oriental Bellydance with Kathy from Coleurs d'Ailleurs in Belgium before moving to Australia in 2010. At that time, she decided to train herself in Tribal Fusion, being inspired by Rachel Brice, through DVD's and workshops. She also joined Tribal troupe Zulyada formed by Michelle Scott for a few years.

In 2012 she attended Rachel Brice's 8 Elements training phase 1 'Initiation' in Portland (USA), and started teaching Tribal Fusion for the Bella Bellydance School in 2013. That same year, she returned to the USA to complete phase 2 'Cultivation' of the 8 Elements.

In the past, she has attended workshops and intensives with national and international bellydancers such as: Artemisia (BEL), Ava Fleming (USA), Devi Mamak (AUS), Deb Rubin (USA), Melusina (AUS), Ashley Lopez (USA), and Kami Liddle (USA).

Currently, Ann continues to love this sinuous dance style, aims to complete the 8 Elements training, and attend future workshops and intensives to improve her dance and teaching skills.
