Beverly Liu
(Guest Instructor: Belly Dancing)
Beverly first discovered her love of Middle Eastern Dancing in 2000 through a Middle Eastern Dance class offered by the sensational Shoshanna. After a couple classes, she was hooked! In 2006, Beverly came to the East Coast and studied under Kaeshi Chai of New York City. Kaeshi introduced her to "Belly Popping" and added a repertoire of tribal and fusion moves. Never satisfied, Beverly continues furthering her dance skills by seeking out Egyptian Style dance teachers from Classical Egyptian to Folkloric to Egyptian Pop.
