Instructor
Alexandra Amador has been an active belly dance student and performer since the age of three. Born and raised in Miami, Florida, she was taught by a variety of belly dance professionals such as Yesenia Lauzurique and Nilda Volta. Belly dance, being her first genre of dance, Alexandra was able to master all different types of cultures within belly dancing, including Arabic, Turkish, and Egyptian. As she got older, while she continued to receive belly dance lessons, she began to attend classes of other genres of dance, such as ballet, jazz, hip-hop, tap, flamenco and contemporary. As a student at Intensity Dancers’ Studio, she started to share some of her knowledge of belly dancing with other students and even included her talent in some of her performances for competitions. She has performed and competed in multiple competitions and has been given special awards for her advanced performances and unique talent.
