Elizabeth
Mahina was raised as a dancer
from the time she was 4 years old and began performing as
a Polynesian dancer professionally by the age of 6. She studied
ballet & jazz throughout her childhood & during her college
years in Santa Cruz she began to study belly dance.
In
2003 Elizabeth discovered American Tribal Style Belly Dance
and was inspired to combine her own varied dance and artistic
background into one fusion style. In January 2007 she completed
Basic Skills Certification in ATS
by Carolena Nericcio. To further expand her knowledge of belly
dance Elizabeth continues to take workshops from as wide a
variety of teachers as possible.
Elizabeth has taught workshops at Tribal Ford, U.K.; Tribal
Caravan, Los Angeles; the IBDC in Las Vegas; & Bedouin Bazaar,
San Diego. She directed Raks Ohana a dance troupe using Polynesian
and Belly Dance influences. She has performed with and assisted
in directing the Conejo Valley chapter of the Sisterhood Dance
Collective and is currently director for the newly formed
Santa Monica dance troupe Nataraja.
She teaches and performs nationally & internationally as a
