Mirage has been dancing and performing since 1999 and teaching since 2005.  Originally trained in Maine, Mirage has performed thoughout New England and Colorado.  She has studied under such great dancers as Mira, Sadie and Kaya, Artemis, Rachel Brice, Morocco, Amaya, Dahlia, Julia DiVerdi, and Suzanna Del Vecchio, among others.  Her passion for dancing is only matched by her love of teaching.  "I love to see my students gain confidence in their bodies and really make the movements their own."   Mirage was originally attracted to belly dance after having done other forms of dance because of its graceful beauty and the fact that anyone can do it at any age, size, or ability.  Her style is Egyptian Cabaret and has been described as fluid with a love of pops and locks.  She is currently exploring Tribal Fusion Belly Dance.  Mirage is proud to be a co-founder of the dance troupe, Indigo Rain, and is excited to add this new chapter to her belly dance career.

Mirage is available for private and small group lessons upon request at her home studio in Westminster.  Please contact her at Mirage@IndigoRainBellyDance.com for rates and availabilty.
