About the Instructor

Hi, I'm Kadria! I started dancing with my high school dance squad, then moved on to college where I co-founded W&L Dance with five other dancers and also became co-captain and choreographer of the Washington & Lee R.E.Belles during my junior year. Mostly I've concentrated on hip hop, jazz, and breakdance for the last 16 years, and have taught at the Marlene Rounds School of Dance in Atlanta for two years. I started started taking bellydance lessons from Nalan at Dance 101 in January 2006, and moved to teaching the aerobic bellydance class at the Home Depot SSC's Building Better Health facility in August of 2006. My bellydancing is also used as an element of my hard rock / industrial band Inviolate's live show, in which I sing, perform electronic musician duties, and yes, dance. I'm also a graphic designer by day, so if you like this site, or need some graphic work done, let me know! I live in Buckhead with my two conures who continually beg me for dried fruit treats and are more entertaining than anything I catch on TiVo.
