Meet the Instructor, Izzy!
Izzy is an AmCab, raqs sharqi and metal fusion bellydancer from Edmonton, Canada. She is a member of the Stygian Teaching Team, her duet troupe the Amped Sisters, and a former member of Les Nuits d’Émeraudes in Quebec City. She is a regular dancer at Greek restaurants in Edmonton, where she enjoys interacting with the audience and making sure everyone gets a chance to get up and dance.
Izzy is also a teacher outside of dance, and her main focus is always on the student, making sure everyone feels comfortable and is able to follow, or gets a little extra challenge if they’re ready for it!
