Jaicyea is a professional bellydancer from the City of Toronto. Her interest in bellydance was first sparked when she signed up for lessons at the Egyptian Dance Academy in 2009. Jaicyea expanded her knowledge by training with world-renowned instructors such as Nada El Masriya, Yasmina Ramzy, Abigail, Melissa Gamal, Emilia Moon, Sahar Samara & Sadie Marquardt. She has blossomed from a recreational dancer into a successful performer/instructor participating in a variety of festivals, events and music videos. This summer 2018, you can find Jaicyea performing with Toronto's hottest new band, Moskitto Bar or attending the Nile Group and Raqs of Course Festivals in Egypt! Improvisation and choreography to traditional music comes naturally and she has been known to experiment with non-traditional sounds such as Hip Hop/Rap, Rock & Roll, Soul and Jazz to add a unique element to her work. She is overjoyed to share her love for belly dance and positive vibes with all of her students. Having grown up in the west-end of Toronto, Jaicyea understands the importance of community-focused programs and is the Program Co-ordinator of Her Buddha Belly, an initiative supported by Art Starts and Toronto Arts Council.
