Brenda — International Dancer and Oriental Dance Instructor

Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Brenda discovered her passion for dance at the early age of three. Her initial training encompassed a wide range of styles — Italian and Argentine folklore, salsa, tango, and jazz — until, almost by chance, she found her true calling in Oriental Dance.

 

After studying with distinguished national masters, Brenda joined the prestigious ADS Academy of Amir Thaleb, where she earned her degree as a Certified Instructor of Arabic Dances. Her talent, refined technique, and strong stage presence led her to win numerous competitions and to become the Principal Dancer at the renowned Lebanese restaurant Al Shark for five consecutive years. Later, she founded her own dance academy in Argentina, which she successfully directed for seven years, training many students who have since become professional dancers themselves.

Throughout her career, Brenda has been invited to appear on television programs, radio shows, and in specialized publications across Latin America, the United States, and Europe. At the same time, she has participated as a guest performer and instructor at many of the most prestigious international Oriental dance festivals, sharing her art and expertise with world-renowned masters.

In 2014, she was personally selected by Dina, one of the most iconic figures in Oriental dance, to take part in the Egyptian reality show and competition “Al Rakesa.” Her appearance on Egyptian television earned her great recognition and led her to establish her professional career in Egypt, where she has performed at weddings, restaurants, nightclubs, and luxury hotels throughout Cairo and across the Middle East, including Lebanon, Tunisia, and the United Arab Emirates.

In addition to her successful career as a dancer, Brenda has also made her mark in the film industry, participating in movies where she not only dances but also acts, as well as in numerous music videos and media productions for Arab television.

In 2018, she took a new artistic step by producing her own original belly dance music, composed and recorded entirely in Cairo with her own orchestra. Today, her compositions are performed by dancers around the world, reflecting her influence and creative vision within the global Oriental dance community.

In 2022, Brenda published her first book, “Belly Dance in Cairo,” officially presented at the Argentine Embassy in Egypt. The work has become an essential reference for dancers seeking to understand and immerse themselves in Egyptian culture and music, as well as for those aspiring to build a professional career in Egypt.

Currently, Brenda resides in Spain, where she continues to expand her artistic legacy. She teaches Oriental Dance and directs her own international festival, “Raqs Alaqant,” which brings together some of the world’s most prominent dancers and instructors each year in Alicante. At the height of her career, Brenda continues to teach, perform, and participate in the most prestigious international dance festivals, dividing her time between Europe and Egypt, and consolidating her reputation as one of the most respected, charismatic, and versatile artists in the world of Oriental dance.
