About

Noelle started learning bellydance in 2002 after being introduced to it through sword fighting. In 2006 she began performing at restaurants and parties, and has been doing so ever since. Through workshops and classes, she has studied under wonderful local dancers such as Sabeya, Lava, Simone LeBlanc (of the “Shimmy” TV show on Discovery Health), Danielle LeBlanc, Elizabeth Carefoot, Loulie Burns, and Lynette Harper, as well as internationally-renowned performers such as Suhaila Salimpour, Sadie, Ansuya, Rachel Brice, Jillina Sharon Kihara, Jim Boz, Ruby Beh, Malia, Estela, Amanda Rose, and Sera Solstice.

More recently, Noelle spent 7 months working with Ruby Beh in an intensive bellydance mentoring program and, in 2015 and 2016 respectively, she trained and certified in the challenging Level 1 of both the Suhaila and Jamila format through the Suhaila Salimpour School of Bellydance. Noelle is passionate about continuing to learn the culture and history of Middle Eastern dance and improving her skills.
