About Sonia: Some would say that Sonia is the secret weapon of the BDSS while others
would say it's not a secret at all. She is not only incredibly versatile with
extensive training in a host of dance styles; she is a gifted natural who
can learn complicated routines with ease. She began her training with
classical ballet, modern and jazz dance. Her ancestry drew her to Mexican
folk, Latin styles and Flamenco. She also trained and performed Polynesian
styles before graduating to Bellydance as her major love. Even before
joining the BDSS as a founding member she had danced internationally
including Japan and Dubai. With the Superstars she has performed in
every show since inception meaning she has probably Bellydanced as a
star performer to more people in more countries than any Bellydancer in
history. Her style is fluid and sensual with a natural grace that gives one
the sensation that she is floating. There is also a mystery about her that
seems to come from her Mona Lisa smile. What is that secret she is
keeping? We all want to know.
Her love of dance extends to her love to teach and she has become
one of the most popular Bellydance teachers in the BDSS. With Issam
Houshan she teaches The Art Of The Drum Solo and Introduction To
Bellynesian (both available on DVD) style where she fuses Polynesian
moves with Bellydance for her own unique dance contribution as well as
beginner and intermediate courses in basic Bellydance. She joined with
Bozenka, Saida, and Amar Gamal to create the Introduction To Bellydance
DVD. She also is a featured performer in the DVDs: Bellydance Superstars,
Solos From Monte Carlo, American Bellydancer, BDSS Live In Paris,
Behind The Shimmy, and 30 Days To Vegas. |
