Flissy

Flissy has been a dedicated student of tribal bellydance since 2006, when she started taking tribal improv classes at Avalon Studio with Rebecca/Kumari and Jessica/Bastet. Since those early days, Flissy has studied regularly with Asharah and has most recently been following her passion for pure ATS by working with Jen from Sammati, and received her ATS General Skills certification in July 2009. She has supplemented her regular studies with workshop hours from nationally recognized dancers such as Carolena Nericcio of Fat Chance Belly Dance, Kajira of Black Sheep Belly Dance, Paulette Rees-Denis of Gypsy Garavan, Maria and Olivia of Zafira, and Lisa Zahiya. She can also be seen performing funky, contemporary fusion, as one half of Verve Tribal with Chris, the creative mastermind behind the beautiful jewelry at Sihaya Designs.

Flissy is an experienced yogini and RYT 200 certified yoga instructor. Her strong yoga practice supports her dance by allowing her to dance with more physical and spiritual freedom. For more information about her yoga instruction, please visit her website, OmChantress.
