Belly Dancing by Marta - New York Belly Dancers
Marta's dance express the join and the power of people whose traditions are carried in the body and soul. It will be my Marta's pleasure to make your party a fun and unforgettable event.

Marta is a Brazilian, descendent from a Lebanese family in which music and dance are a cultural inheritance. In her childhood she used to dance in parties with her Arabic friends to have fun. In her adolescence, however, people in her community, were asking her more often to dance at parties. Marta's passion for dance led her initialy to study classical ballet for five years, and then she decided to take seriously the art of Belly Dance and add its techniques to her dance knowledge. She took Belly dance classes in Brazil with the recognized Belly Dancer, Lulu Sabouge, and in New York with the talented and respected Serena. In 1998, her popularity grew. She began working almost everywhere, and has been steadly workingin clubs, restaurants, and private parties. She owes her success to an exceptional aptitude for musical perception, melody and corporal rhythm. Her tireless search for new expressions took her to Egypt, Israel and Lebanon, where her innate art was shapped to the state of spirity of the traditional Arabic Dancers.

Marta's interest in other cultures led her to travel to other countries in Europe such as Portugal, Spain, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Amsterdam, France, and Greece which gave her incentive to learn and become fluent in other languages such as Spanish, Italian and English beside her native language, Portuguese. She loves all kind of music so she never limited herself to one style or another. Marta's dance focus on femininity, flexibility, sensuality, energy with slow and cheerful movements.

Her dance express the join and the power of people whose traditions are carried in the body and soul.

I hired Marta to perform for my mom's bridal shower and she was absolutely amazing! She was great at her craft and extremely professional in handling all the logistics. She was extremely friendly and gave a wonderful performance along with a fun-filled interactive session where we all attempted to recreate her moves. Thank you so much Marta for being such a wonderful addition to our party! I will strongly recommend Marta for all future events!
