Kara v Dancer



Kara has been dancing in one form or another since she was 3 years old.  While her professional ballet career was derailed by puberty, Kara never stopped loving dance and continued to perform in school plays and musicals.  Kara discovered belly dance while attending college in Colorado and soon began teaching this exotic, low-impact dance form to her fellow students.

 

After a long hiatus, Kara returned to studying, performing and teaching belly dance in 2005.  Kara offers fitness-focused Bellydancercise classes along with belly dance workshops on a wide range of topics at The Wellness Center in Arlington Heights, IL.  Kara has performed various styles of belly dance as a soloist, in several local troupes and duets.

 

When she's not performing or teaching belly dance, Kara vends belly dance accessories and apparel for Dahlal, Interationale, Inc. and also works full time as an IT Technical Project Leader.
