Bellydance By Amartia

Introduction: Abingdon based belly dancer Amartia, provides the most extravagant entertainment in Maryland. She has been dubbed the Greek Bellydance Bombshell! Amartia is a Baltimore native of Greek descent. She was involved in Greek Folk dancing from childhood to adulthood. She stumbled upon bellydancing class at a local gym and has never looked back! Bellydance appealed to her not only as an art form but a way to stay in shape. Hence one spectator commenting, “…massive melodic muscles of the Mediterranean aka killer abs..” Her style can be best described as Modern Egyptian/ Lebanese cabaret. However, given her Greek heritage and training she has been able to combine those styles into her own form of fusion, Greco-Egyptian Cabaret. She is a regular dancer at Bombay nights, Sizzling bombay, and D’Tandoor Indian Cuisine. She has also performed nationwide at Rakkasah West and East, at the Las Vegas Bellydance Intensive, at La Danse Oriental, at The Blue Monk and at the Hawthorne in Oregon. Amartia is an award-winning bellydancer. She has traveled to compete all over the United States. She is the 2008 Jewel of the Nile and the first place winner for veil dance from Arabian Nights. More recently she was one of the 23 bellydancers chosen to compete in the first season of a reality web-show- Project bellydance!
