ABOUT SONIA: Born and raised in Los Angeles, Sonia is a
bellydancer of Mexican descent who began dancing at the age of
20. She started her training with classical ballet, jazz, and
modern dance. For 3 years Sonia has performed with Ballet
Folklorico del Pacifico under the direction of Adriana
Astorga-Gainey and Jose Vences, former dancer of the world
famous Ballet Folklorico de Mexico. Sonia has also taught and
performed Latin dances since 1997, thanks to friend Alex DaSilva,
internationally known salsa instructor, choreographer and
performer based in Los Angeles. She has been dancing with
Polynesian Paradise since 1994, with director/founder Akemi
Welsh, who happened to give Sonia her first glimpse at the world
of Middle Eastern dances. Fusing all styles and levels of dance,
Sonia now spends her time teaching private and group lessons in
the Los Angeles area and performs worldwide. Sonia dances
because it brings her much happiness, and through her efforts
hopes that one day the rest of the world will look at this
beautiful art form with an open mind and an open heart.
** There will be a variety of merchandise available for purchase
at the workshop including apparel, jewelry, DVDs and CDs. **
