Gina is an exceptional Oriental dance performer and instructor based in Atlanta, Georgia.
Dancing since the age of nine, Gina has a strong background in ballet, jazz, modern, and musical theatre dance. She received her BFA in Dance and Theatre arts from East Carolina University. As a jazz dancer, she performed in every conceivable venue; from cruise ships to theme parks, dinner theatre to outdoor drama, concert stages to Las Vegas production shows. An unfortunate knee injury led to anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in 1999, and it was upon completion of her own physical therapy that she became a certified Post-Rehab Pilates Practitioner. Gina’s fascination with Oriental dance began when she took her first “belly dance” class and was immediately hooked. She has since studied with notable American, Arabic, and European Oriental dancers. She is inspired by these artists as well as by her own ballet and jazz background.
Aside from performing, Gina brings abundant experience and diverse influences to her unique teaching style. Her connection with her audience makes her a sought-after performer and instructor, and has earned her respect from the Atlanta Persian and Arabic communities.
Gina’s elegant, refined style brings both passion and grace to any occasion. She performs in venues ranging from the intimate gathering to the large gala; from weddings and parties to corporate events and conventions. Gina also enjoys giving her time and talent to charity events hosted by organizations such as Partnership Walk and Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
She is currently teaching and performing in Atlanta, as well as instructing workshop classes across the United States.
