BELLY DANCE is a unique dance of passion, sensuality and beauty. To watch a belly dancer express the energy of this art through her movements is a truly magical experience that only those with a deep understanding of sensuality and passion can appreciate and enjoy. Belly dance is a dance of  liberation and freedom in this often confining world of rules. A beautiful dancer is confident and powerful in her movements from slow undulations to fast, sharp hips and shimmies. Belly dance involves and symbolizes every part of the body, soul and movement of life. Women as much as men are moved, inspired and easily bewitched by a belly dancer.

Kimberly Andora ("A gift") dances with  a deep understanding and appreciation of the gift belly dance has given her.  She believes every woman is of the goddess and her dance evokes the divine.  Kimberly is a true belly dancer because she enables the viewer to actually see what the music would look like if it was expressed through dance. With grace and passion, she uses snake like movements to create a picture of haunting music. With uninhibited energy and confidence she moves fast to express the sharp, intense drum beats. Kimberly's unique expression is clearly visible through the liberation of belly dance.

Kimberly has worked with a myriad of renowned and accomplished dancers  over the years. All of her teachers have encouraged her and helped her develop as a dancer but it was her own perseverance, dedication and practice that cultivated her skills and created her own unique belly dance style.  Kimberly has danced with professional troupes that featured an eclectic mix of choreography styles including jaz and hip/hop, as well as classic Egyptian caberet.  Kimberly prefers the unique expression of dancing solo but she also enjoys learning choreography and dancing with others who share her gift. She is currently dancing with the accomplished and beautiful Elana of Raks Rosa Belly Dance Company www.RaksRosa.com as well as Terriann and her talented troupe Joweh. www.Terrianneandjoweh.com . She also dances with the Valkyeries, an eclectic mix of tribal fusion, burlesque and traditional caberet. The dancers in all these troupes are all extremely talented and dancing with them is a constant challenge and inspiration for Andora to grow and learn as a dancer.

Kimberly Andora performs occasionally at many bay area restaurants and regularly on Friday and Saturday nights at the Sizzling Tandor  and the Kabob and Curry House, both in Santa Rosa.  Both restaurants are always filled with belly dancing fans and she loves the opportunity to dance and bring joy to the patrons. She dances throughout the year at private parties, fund raisers, banquets, wineries, and every chance she can at parades and festivals.  She is also an instructor of belly dance at Fifth Street Fitness and Solstice Dance and Yoga www.srsolsticestudio.com, both in Santa Rosa. Kimberly welcomes every opportunity to dance both for herself and to offer the magic of this dance for others to enjoy.
