If the opportunity doesn't exist, then I will create it for myself.

On November 7 and 8, the historic Denair Gaslight Theater will host my show, "Gift of the Nile."

👉 Hear more about my thinking behind "Gift of the Nile" (and beyond) on maestra April Rose's podcast, released today!

❤️ So stunning that you won't believe it was all real (no AI)! Stephane's gorgeous rooftop photoshoot in Istanbul will take your breath away. 🧿

I have always loved the song "Baladna" by Amina and Hisham. This choreo interweaves multi-tonal combinations by maestra April Rose, resulting in a tapestry that I'm proud to perform as my arrangement.

So stunning that you won't believe it was all real (no AI)! ❤️ Stephane's gorgeous photoshoot in Istanbul 🧿 will take your breath away, from rooftop views to colorful lanterns to fancy blossoms.

Sharm El-Sheik was a garden oasis, and the perfect backdrop to Stephane's gorgeous photoshoot. The sunset is so stunning that you’ll swear it was made by AI (it was totally real)!

My troupe, Daira, and I officially debuted "TrrPhoto" at Alegria Performing Arts Academy's May 2026 showcase! I knew it was going to be a challenge because we were taking on our first-ever prop (veil). But my ladies worked hard and looked awesome!

What if we combined Jabbawockeez with Stephanie Belly Dance? Our styles seem totally unrelated, but I think there are more similarities than one might assume, and the differences that do exist make it interesting. Let's see what happens!

We've grown so much this past year, and I'm very proud of how everyone has taken on challenges with aplomb (multi-tonal finger cymbals, belly dancing festival performances, improv and more)!

Mrs. Claus has NOTHING on us!

With Hot Pink & Fur Trim, we wish you Happy Holidays 2025!

Happy Holidays 2025 to you from Stephanie! Feel all the emotions in this 2-minute montage of the holiday party she threw for her students!

I DID IT!! I received my FINAL Teacher Certification in Stage 3 of the Dance Cohesion program by April Rose! I’m one of only 15 people in the world (at the time of this writing) to have achieved this certification.

“Your technique and finger cymbals are absolutely gorgeous. I cannot wait for the moment that we get to dance together and drum together in person. I would just be so so so thrilled to share the stage with you.” ~April Rose

I am very proud of Erin and Lisa, who represented Daira Troupe so colorfully at Día de Los Muertos 2025 in Modesto, CA!

They looked amazing in these bright pink dresses -- which, incidentally, they made! Gorgeous.

Got 2 minutes? Of course you do!

This short warm-up is fun to do and fun to see because we're in costume. Get a jump-start on your Halloween pre-party or after-party (or workout), and get your blood flowing with this warm-up for brain and body!
