Stefanie is a professional Dance Instructor & Performer, with over 14 certifications and licensing in holistic movement and healing modalities.    She brings a unique whole approach to her classes and seminars, with a focus on breath, posture, technique and positive thought. In 2007 while working on a special project with the ladies of Trillium, Jennifer Nolan, Marie Kaplan, and Traci Roberts, Stefanie was introduced to American Tribal Style Belly Dance.  She fell in love with the aspect of group improvisational choreography and began her search for a teacher.   Kajira Djoumahna’s contribution to Synchronized Group Improvisational Dance, using both hips, in this style was optimal in Stefanie’s opinion to keeping balance in the body, as well as the heart.   Stefanie, after pursuing her own continued education, received certification in Kajira’s Black Sheep Belly Dance SGI Format as an instructor, and is now a proud member of BSBD International Troupe.
