"I was amazed by dancer Amberetta's performance of Tribal Fusion Bellydance. Her assured stage presence provided the basis for an astonishing intricacy of movement. " - Michael Crumb, The Chattanooga Pulse

Amberetta is a Tribal Fusion Bellydancer living in the San Francisco Bay area. She began performing at the age of five, studying ballet, jazz, and tap, as well as the piano. As the daughter of a former Cabaret dancer, she was encouraged to find her place in the spotlight. She became active in her local drama club at the age of fourteen, and played the piano for her high school choir at frequent performances from 1997 to 2000. She studied piano, organ, vocal performance, and music education at the University of Montevallo in Montevallo, AL from 2000 to 2001. In 2004, she was introduced to Tribal Style dance at a Hafla and began taking lessons immediately. She quickly picked up the dance form and was asked to join the Dandasha Dance Company from 2006 to 2007. Since 2007, she has been performing as a soloist, developing a distinguishable repertoire while incorporating swords, veils, zills, poi, fans, and fire into her choreographies. In 2009, Amberetta obtained her Level 1 Certification from the Suhaila Salimpour School of Dance and received her Yoga Teacher Certification from Yoga Alliance throuh Stephanie Keach and the Asheville Yoga Center in June 2010. She relocated to the San Francisco area to further her dance studies in September of 2010.
