Gina is a Raks Sharki (aka: bellydance) performer and instructor. She loves to share her knowledge of this beautiful dance with others.

Gina's nurturing teaching style makes her a sought after instructor. Her years of experience on stages small and large, with group performances to solo work, from wedding s to Hollywood extravaganzas and in the studio has helped her make this dance form approachable and friendlier to the western student. Gina has studied with well known bellydance master instructors such as Gypsy Caravan, Suhaila Salimpour, Jamila Salimpour, Rashid to name a few. Her students benefit from her background and certification in bodywork and fitness training knowing they will receive safe and level appropriate instruction. She has helped students of all levels, beginner, intermediate and advanced get more out of their lessons, their music and themselves.

Her unique interpretation of Mid eastern classics and contemporary music has made her a popular choice among the Middle Eastern community as well as audiences that are not as familiar with bellydance.

Gina currently continues to teach and perform bellydance throughout Tucson.
