Before she embraced the art of Belly Dancing 7 years ago, she studied, performed, and taught different Latin dance styles like Samba and Salsa, rhythms that have been in her blood since childhood. While in Brazil, she trained and performed in Modern Jazz. All her experiences mixed together have emerged into a unique style of dance.
Her skills comprehend Zills or Cymbals, Cane Dance, Isis Wings, Doumbek drumming, Cabaret Egyptian dance, Saidi and other Folklore Oriental Dances. Her passion for the art of dance, enthusiasm, and amazing rhythm skills, brings this teacher and performer to a very high rank among professional belly dancers.
Yonisha has taught different levels of classes while living in the city of Winnipeg , Manitoba (India School of Dance, Kas-Sky, University of Manitoba, City of Winnipeg leisure centers, and private) and also ministered a series of mini-workshops in Zills, Cane dance, veils and Isis Wings in Canada and Latin America.
In her performances, Yonisha dances from the heart, where she finds different hidden choreographies to each note of her chosen songs. She incorporates the spirit of music, and lets her soul take control of her body movements and expressions. Almost like in an Art possession of her soul and body as a dancer, she lets emotion flow through the waves of sounds.
She believes dancing is a celebration of life and loves sharing it with others in her adventurous travel around the different rhythms, and dances of the world. The result is the ultimate expression of her soul.
Yonisha is always ready to share her love
and knowledge of Dance!
