Tribal Sooz

Tribal SoozSooz is a dedicated student & performer of tribal style bellydance.  For the last 3 years she has studied primarily tribal fusion bellydance with Rachel Lazarus Soto, after a year of introductory courses in Cabaret style bellydance with Fahtiem.  She initially found tribal style bellydance on the internet, first discovering the acclaimed tribal troupe, FatChanceBellyDance.  Excited by the costuming, camaraderie and the empowerment she felt from these dancers, she began to seek a teacher in Southern California to fill in the blanks left by the videos she had been studying.


Weekly classes, endless rehearsals and countless performances with award winning troupe, Devadasi & Blue Damsel have given Sooz valuable experience that has inspired her to share what she knows with others.  She is continually studying with many different teachers in workshops & seminars to improve her technique and understanding of the body's movements.   Sooz performs with her partner, Rachael, as Mirabelle-the finest in American Tribal Style Bellydance.  


Her most proudest achievement is recently being certified an official FatChanceBellyDance Sister Studio and has also completed Teacher Training and the General Skills Intensive!


Sooz lives to make others laugh and wants to bring the joy of tribal bellydance to women in Orange County and beyond. She hopes to help other women realize the changes in attitude and confidence that she has seen in herself as a result of tribal bellydance.  Most importantly, she wants her students to unplug from the world for awhile and enjoy being themselves.
