JOANNE CAMILLERI
Joanne’s passion for dance has been a lifelong physical and internal journey. Her extensive dance training started at the age of five in ballet, jazz and various modern dance techniques. In 1988 she left Canada to explore the vast cultures of the Middle East (Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Jeddah, North West Africa and Egypt) where she had the opportunity to witness firsthand the haunting spiritual depth, historical mysteries, and vast unexplored potential of the art of ‘Raks Sharqi’ (dance of the stomach). In the early 90’s she continued her studies in India, Pakistan and Dubai exploring the subtle nuances of katach and baritnatium with world renowned teachers Partab Parawa, Naheed Sadeeeki, and Sheema Kermani, while widening her scope and understanding of the delicate intricacies of modern and tribal fusion belly dance. Today she continues to create solo performances and original Middle Eastern inspired fusion dance pieces with her select troupe of dedicated students and renowned Canadian composer Chris Hall.
In 2007 Joanne became the Founder and Artistic Director of VIVACE STUDIOS – School of Visual and Performing Arts in Toronto, where she teaches belly dance group and private classes and workshops.
