Jeni, recently relocated from Los Angeles, has been dedicated to studying and performing Middle Eastern dance since 2003. She was originally drawn to this art form through her love of dance as well as her Lebanese heritage. In 2005 she joined Jillina's renowned company, The Sahlala Dancers, affording her the privilege to train with one of the world's most sought-after belly dance instructors.

Along with her weekly shows, she has performed in numerous theatre productions in and around the L.A. area, including "Belly Dance Evolution," a groundbreaking production that tours the world. Between 2008 and 2010 she danced in segments for popular TV shows including ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" and Fox's "Good Day L.A."

She currently teaches regular classes in MA, NH and ME and also works as a guest artist at Lowell High School teaching Raqs Sharqi to students in the dance program.
