“CAPTIVATING. MESMERISING.
UPLIFTING. TRANSFORMING
ENERGY THROUGH DANCE.”
HI! I’M TAMARA
I am a full-time dancer, artist and educator, passionate about bringing a rich knowledge of Middle Eastern dance styles to every performance.
For over 12 years, I've immersed myself in traditional and contemporary forms of MENAHT (Middle Eastern North African Hellas and Turkey) dances.
Having won 7 awards and traveled to 40 countries, my journey has been about more than just dance; it's about telling stories and connecting deeply with diverse cultures and people.
Last but not least, I am a certified Feldenkrais® Practitioner, teaching lessons on how to improve your entire self with mindful movement.
DANCE EXPERIENCE HIGHLIGHTS

Winner of 7 international dance awards.
Participation in 8 international dance festivals.
Trained with over 100 world-renowned teachers.
Traveled to 40 countries.
Taught over 80 dance classes from 2022-2023.
MY MOTIVES
I aim to shift the energy in any room I perform in, engaging my audience in ways that are interesting, enjoyable and, oh-so-unpredictable.
My passion lies in weaving together storytelling, artistry, skill, and profound presence to create performances that are not only seen, but felt.
My style is fluid, feminine, and intricate, designed to captivate audiences with an exciting tapestry of curves, waves, and shakes.
The end result? A performance that captivates, mesmerizes, and uplifts.
MOVEMENT EDUCATOR
Did you know that improving your movement can improve your brain, nervous system, and entire life?
In addition to the art of dance, I’m obsessed with the science of movement. Certified in the Feldenkrais® Method, I teach Awareness Through Movement Lessons that apply principles from neuroscience, physics, human development, and somatic psychology to improving the functioning of your entire self.
How? By slowing down, doing less, and learning new, easier ways to move.
