SHERRY BIOGRAPHY.

Sherri – Tribal Fusion Bellydancer

Sherri has been a student of dance since the age of five with diverse experience ranging from ballet to gymnastics, jazz to modern and a large does of hip hop. Her passion for tribal bellydance began in 1999 when she began studying with the internationally celebrated Heather Stants, director of the influential Urban Tribal Dance Company. She soon became a full member performing with the company regularly at private events and dance festivals across the US.

Since then, Sherri has had the honor of working with many influential and critically acclaimed professional dance companies and performance groups. Among them are Desert Sin as a principal dancer and as a frequent featured guest performer with Atash Maya of San Diego, Lucent Dossier of Los Angeles and Lucha Va Voom also of Los Angeles.

Primarily a tribal fusion dancer, Sherri is distinguishable in her unique serpentine stylization, an interpretation that embodies something close to bellydance infused with contortionism. She is also an extremely versatile dancer and can morph from one extreme physical state to the next in an instant. As a very diverse performer who enjoys continually challenging herself, Sherri finds that dance theatre, a place where choreography, music, staging and costuming come together to form something much greater than the sum of their parts, is where she derives the most professional satisfaction.

Prior to her (now healed) back injury, Sherri’s latest professional coup was a coveted position as the newest tribal member of an internationally touring bellydance company. Sidelined from the tour in recovery, Sherri decided to start her own performance company and costuming line (coming soon), Cherchez La Femme (literal translation: “look to the woman” though the phrase is usually used in an infamous sense), a nickname given to her as a child by her late father.

Having relocated to Los Angeles in 2005, Sherri continues to study dance in various incarnations and teaches weekly tribal fusion dance classes at EION 2013 in Venice Beach. Sherri teaches and performs internationally.

ANSUYA BIOGRAPHY.

Ansuya is considered one of the most talented and accomplished performers, choreographers, instructors, and entrepreneurs in the Bellydance world today.

With thousands of students across the globe, numerous television appearances, an IAMED Best Cabaret Dancer of the year award and three Golden Belly Awards, Ansuya is a superstar in her field.

WHAT ARE ANSUYA’S LATEST PROJECTS?

WHERE DID ANSUYA COME FROM?

Growing up in a small town called Ojai in California, as the daughter of renowned Bellydancer, Jenaeni, Ansuya’s first shining moments included being crowned “Miss Teen Ojai” and appearing as the little star of her mother’s annual Bellydance concerts. Her father, being of royal Indian descent, added mystique and legend to her artsy and somewhat hippy upbringing. Becoming a model for several local print jobs lead to an invitation to model in Tokyo, Japan. Moving to Hollywood became the next logical step where Ansuya appeared on television shows such as Jack and Jill, The Nanny, VIP, Weird Science, and the Jim Jay and Ann show, music videos for artists such as Beck and Sons of Funk and commercials for Fox and Toshiba. She can also be seen in the title sequence of the DVD version of the Bond film classic, Octopussy. Studying with leading acting coaches, such as Lynn Redgrave, Ansuya developed her additional talent as an actress and has had a recurring role on the daytime drama Days of our Lives and a guest spot on primetime series, Judging Amy.
