Hello
my name is Latefa, I am a Mid-East belly dancer. I am a member of
a group of belly dancers with a wide range of talents. Our
members change as often as the seasons. We number usually 2
dancers and an occasional drummer. We travel light and invite the
local talent to join in our performances.
I am an exciting and dynamic performer of the Art of Belly Dancing, I have been performing since 1971 in numerous nightclubs and fairs in the Colorado and California. Originally from California, then on to Colorado where I became one of the most accomplished dancers, and now living in Kansas. Although I am known for my hip movements, I have a unique blend of both interpretive and traditional styles of this ancient art form.
