Queenie is a professional teacher, choreographer and performer of Middle Eastern dance, in Belgium and beyond. Her biggest qualities are her enthusiasm, class and elegance. She has developed her own style with a modern approach, whilst not forgetting the roots of the art form.
Aside from her Egyptian-based style, Queenie specialises in Khaleegy dance: a folkloric dance from the Arabic Gulf countries. Typical for this style are the heavily embroidered dresses and hair tossing - so much that the dance itself often is called ‘hair dance’.
In 2010, Queenie ended as the first Belgian dancer in both the main and the folkloric category in the 4th “Bellydancer of the World” contest. Upon invitation, she joined Raks Pro, Belgium’s first professional bellydance troupe, performing nationally and internationally. She is currently co-directing the troupe.
