   I have loved dancing for as long as I can remember and have been blessed with many opportunities to feel the freedom and joy of dance.  Dancing has always been the ticket that has given me connections with many different people all over the world.  Dance speaks a universal language that needs no interpreter. I have been fortunate to have had many joyful dancing experiences and performances ranging from ballroom to international folk dancing. But my favorite form of dance is belly dance, especially American Tribal.  I love how this form of dance celebrates of the spirit and power of a woman no matter what season of her life she is in.  I am very thrilled to be part of the sisterhood of the Wicked Hips Tribal Dance group.

   My theater work and television commercial experience as an actor helps form a basis for all my performances in dance.  In any type of performance, we create a magical reality that transports the viewer to a different place and time.  It allows us and them to be fully in the moment.

   As a watercolor and mixed media artist, I demonstrate my love of dance in the many paintings in which my subjects are dancers.  My art can be seen at many belly dance workshops, at local galleries, and many juried shows.  I love doing commission portraits and especially love painting dancers in their costumes. I also design jewelry especially geared to the belly dance performer. My web site is www.angeletta.com

   To dance is to touch the heart and soul of the dancer and the viewer with the blessings of the creative spirit.  How fortunate we are to be able to bring this form of dance to a wide and varied audience.
