Originally from Switzerland, Simone has been involved with belly dance for 10 years. Growing up she was extensively trained in classical ballet, and studied various forms of folkloric dances along the way.

She eventually found her true calling in Raks Sharki/Middle Eastern Dance (aka Belly Dance). Which she believes slow for freer expression of one self. She has been performing and teaching classes and workshops in PA and New York City for the past 6. She has studied with instructors from around the world, and has perfected various styles of this dance through workshops and classes with internationally renowned teachers, the likes of Suhaila Salimpur, Saqra, Morroco, Azizah, Anahid Sofian and Aziah. She continues to further her dance education any chance she gets.

Simone still enjoys a variety of dance styles, in particular NY Style, On-2 Salsa.( Instructors can be found on the friends page)
