Melina
Melina began
exploring Middle Eastern dance in Chattanooga TN
She has been with Ancient Echoes since she
returned
to her native Charleston in 2005. Her style
favors the more expressive Turkish and Lebanese
forms
of belly dance as well as American tribal-fusion. She
enjoys exploring new facets of dance, music, unique
choreography,
props and costume design to draw all the elements together to invoke
emotions and tell stories
through the dance and to engage the
audiance so they become part of the experience.
