Roxane started dancing when she was four years old. Her passion for dance was born of parents who filled the home every day with music from around the world. Her love and appreciation of music was best expressed in motion which launched a true passion and life journey.
In her youth she studied jazz, acrobatic jazz and ballroom. One of her specialization was and still is the creative process with choreographies. To showcase talent of all levels by creating routines that allows the performer to shine like the stars they are.
After moving to Ottawa in 1985, she decided to concentrate on Ballroom and intensified her studies. After receiving both her certifications in Social and International Standards in ballroom, she began to compete seriously with her dance partner of the time. This also enabled her to launch her teaching career. Within two years, they managed to climb a very steep slope to win second place in Canada’s National ProAm Event run by the IDSF (International DanceSport Federation.) Unfortunately, they encountered a major set back which resulted in prematurely ending their dance career. Roxane was badly hurt during a showcase which ended any chances in advancement in ballroom on the world stage. Not satisfied with this, and after a lengthy recovery period, Roxane decided to delve back into dance.
She quenched her thirst by trying other disciplines such as Flamenco, Swing and Argentine tango. This helped to broaden her scope and add spice to her repertoire. Introduced to belly dance by a close friend, she knew after the first class that she had found her new obsession. Her studies included attending regular weekly classes and specialized workshops to build a curriculum that she could share. She is a student of movement and loves to share her passions with others. She is continually updating her skills to pass along to her students. She attends dance workshops, seminars and explores the myriads of videos and books to keep the fires ablaze. Roxane also believes in taking classes herself from time to time and she enjoys participating in classes simply for the joy of it. It refreshes her.
Belly dance is different from anything she has ever tried before. It instills in anyone it touches the joy of movement in acceptance. It encourages woman of all ages and sizes to express their feminine side and reveal their inner goddess. It is a dance form that helps to re-awaken sensuality through gentle and exotic movements. A very powerful experience that she invites you to discover for yourself!
