Azziza® is creator of Bellydi®, “The Sweeter Way to Sweat”. Belly dancing fitness that is so much fun, it makes you giggle while you wiggle.

This NY Belly dancing starlet started her journey in 1995 when she was searching for a fun way to get fit. After walking into Renate’s Harem Belly Dance Studio in Baldwin NY, she was bitten by the belly bug. Azziza® joined Renate’s troupe “The Goddesses Bas Harem” and delved deeply into her passion. A few years later, Azziza® moved into New York City, quit her day job and became a full time belly dancer.

Azziza® enjoyed 6 years in the Big Apple. She performed 7 nights a week for many celebrities including Puff Daddy, Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz and Kirsten Dunst. Azziza studied with a myriad of Egyptian teachers through the Egyptian Academy of Oriental Dance. Azziza® also studied and danced in Turkey and Egypt. With her obligations in NY, she had to turn down a contract in Egypt at the Cairo Meridien on the Nile.
