You will leave this class with new and exciting options for your next cane piece!

Tamra Henna has been dancing within the Lebanese culture throughout her professional career. As house dancer at Al-Amir Lebanese club since 2002, performances at various other Lebanese nightclubs, including the Sands and Byblos in Houston, and yearly invitational performances at the Lewisville Lebanese Food Festival, she has been regularly exposed to the music and culture of Lebanon, and has developed an interest in and understanding of Lebanese-style Belly dance. Tamra Henna was influenced early on by such Lebanese stars as Amani, Samara, Houwaida Hashem, and Nariman Aboud, and has implemented elements of their dancing in her unique style.
