The Magnificent Melodi
Just Fabulous Belly Dance
Melodi took her first Middle-Eastern dance
class 10 years ago with Tambra in Carrollton,
TX. After a five year break from dance she
resumed her studies with Cathy Williams,
Cathy Barton, and Rory Williams in Denton, TX.
Melodi has also taken classes with Vashti,
Nadirah Johara, and most recently with Lalitha
Sivanisan. She continues to supplement her
classes with workshop training with instructors
from around the world.
Melodi began studying Middle-Eastern dance
as a form of exercise. She continues to dance
as a way of expressing her femininity after
long days in a corporate environment and to
share her deep appreciation of this beautiful
art form. While Melodi’s studies have included Folkloric and Cabaret
styles, her heart belongs to Egyptian Cabaret.
Melodi has performed across Texas and Oklahoma as a
soloist and as a member of Cathy and Company. She
joined Just Fabulous in April of 2007. She is the winner of
the 2nd place trophy from the 2008 Austin Belly Dance
Convention Amateur Contest.
