Sonya has taken her inspiration from the  Gawazi style of dance. This is one of the oldest known dance styles, originating with the gypsies of Egypt and the tribes of North Africa. All other forms of “bellydance” styles find their roots here. Once you learn the foundation of this wonderful style, you can then transition to other variations more easily.
