Jennifer started her journey by attending a Moose Lodge Arabian Nights dinner where the entertainment for the evening was bellydancers.  As each of the seven dancers started to unveil themselves, she was happily surprised by the diversity of the women’s ages, body types, and confidence levels.  Once finished with the performance she asked the dancers, how does one start?  Jennifer then took her first lesson with Ely Buffin as soon as the next session started.

​

As a founding member of the bellydance fusion troupe Mahzjai, she attended a six-month comprehensive course and became certified by Bellydance Superstar, Ansuya.

​

Jennifer became a member of the Arabian Nights Bellydance Agency through which she performed in local restaurants and hookah lounges, at private parties, as well as in their large yearly Rouge Festival shows. 

​

Brazen Tassel is a Sister Studio® of Fatchance Bellydance® where Jennifer studied American Tribal Style Bellydance and was one of the original Tassels.  She completed level 3 and enjoys being able to dance with other dancers from around the world with this language of dance.

​

Wanting to take her dance to another level, Jennifer started to compete during the first annual Hot Raqs Festival.  Happy with her personal growth she has competed in multiple other competitions.  During the 2019 Hot Raqs Festival she made it to the top six and competed in the live music final and ended up winning the title of “Vendor's Choice”
