Laetana

Laetana: Femininity at its best!

Even at a young age, Laetana was fascinated by the bellydance. She fell in love with this thoroughly feminine dance. Very early on it became obvious that Laetana had finesse for this artform. Belly dancing became more of a pursuit and what she had previously only dreamed about became a reality. She has danced internationally for Saoudi Arabian royalty and celebreties among which Demis Roussos. Laetana is specialized 100% in the art of bellydancing, the oriental dance that she studied with famous dancers and choreographers in Cairo, the Mecca of the bellydance. Snake charming, firespitting and walking on glass are activities she leaves in the capable hands of colleagues in the entertainment industry. Laetana continues to attend masterclasses to keep abreast of the latest developments in bellydance and to enhance her skills. This is reflected in her show, a professional performance in which she interprets the music with her body.

With indepth feeling she portrays and expresses her femininity in her show.
