Rhea is a world renown expert in Classic Cabaret,
Salimpouresque Proto-Tribal Belly Dance, Greco-Turkish Chiftitelli, and
Folkloric Styles of Middle Eastern and North African Dance. A master teacher and much beloved mentor, she has
inspired several generations of belly dancers
with her lightning hips, amazing belly rolls, acrobatic floorwork, and
expert finger cymbal playing. As befitting the very first belly dancer
in the U.S. to perform while balancing a sword on her head, Rhea's
Sword Dancing was one of the highlights of the show!
