Sultanah's love of music and dance started through her parents, a Hawaiian Hula dancer and a surfer who enjoyed a good tune! Watching the Hula and Tahitian inspired a passion for cultural dances that continues to this day.
Sultanah's background includes ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, choir, and theater arts. After taking time off to pursue family life, Sultanah was introduced to bellydance, and from that moment on her heart and soul were captured by this wonderful dance form. Every aspect of the dance - the music, costumes, friendships, acceptance of body image - continues to inspire and motivate Sultanah on a daily basis to educate herself so she can one day help teach other women this unique dance that tones the body and strengthens self esteem and confidence.
Sultanah is the feminine Arabic form of Sultan, meaning "Ruler."
