Edenia has always been into dancing. In Junior High she learned the style of popping from hip hop dancing, Watching break-dancers she was able to learn from them. She had an interest in bellydance from a young age, but when she saw her first Rachel Brice video She was hooked! She began taking bellydance classes in August 2006 with Zahreen, whom she will always be grateful for getting her out there to perform, (being a quick study with daily practice) started performing a year or so later. Edenia has taken many workshops from many awesome dancers such as Rachel Brice, Zoe Jakes, Frederique, Ariellah, Olivia, Onca, Kami Liddle, Marjhani, Sabrina Fox, and many more. Edenia can be seen performing her unique bellydance style of Pops, Locks & Bellydance Fusion with hip hop “popping”, almost weekly in and around the Inland Empire, So. Cal. Having that background in popping she was able to mix that style with Belly dance. She continues to grow with her passion in life. Edenia loves all styles of dance and says that every dancer out there is an inspiration to her. |

| I just started teaching early this year of 2008, It has been alot of fun. I teach Pops and Locks Tribal Fusion influenced with Gothic and Popping. I think my style is a little unique because I also teach the moonwalk, gliding, robotic ticking and other breakdancing moves. | |

Performing is one of the big reasons why I love to dance. I am able to express myself in many ways. I feel like I just transformed into somebody else. I prefer to do improv because anything comes out with the music and what I am feeling. I still get very nervous when I perform but its more of an adrenaline. Events I have performed at are Festival of Dancing Colors, Punk Raqs, Gothla, Tribal Cafe, Tribal LA, Exotic Blend, Bellydance Kaleidoscope, Las Vegas Bellydance Intensive, Tribal Caravan, Nightmare Before Halloween, Froggy’s Showcase and many more. |
