Ariellah
studied classical ballet extensively with the Royal Academy of Dance of London for twelve years, beginning at age three.
After a break from dance that included graduating from UC Davis and two years in the Peace Corps on Africa's Ivory Coast,
she returned to the United States eager to learn the dance of her Moroccan ancestry.
Ariellah's style reflects and infuses her personal interpretation of Middle Eastern belly dance,
with a modern, dark flavour, that is uniquely her own. She is widely known for her strong stage presence and unrivaled technique.
Her performances are designed to mesmerize and invoke emotion and the darker, more passionate side of dance.
Ariellah believes her style emanates from the passion and contentment that belly dance has brought to her life,
as well as the infusion of her lifelong involvement in the gothic subculture, allowing her to fully express herself
in a unique and beautifully dark way. For more information on Ariellah, go to
