Belly Dance Workshops & Show!
Ruby Beh's raw, untamed and passionate dance style has made her one of today's most sought-after instructors and performers!
She began pursuing her career in bellydance after receiving a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Chemistry. With a background in American Classic Belly Dance, Kung Fu and Turkish Oriental styling, Ruby's love of Turkish culture and dance have drawn her to study extensively in Istanbul.
In addition to being a multi-award winning performer, Ruby is a certified Pilates instructor. She is featured on several instructional and performance DVDs including her own full length instructionals through Cheeky Girls Productions: Flawless Floorwork, Totally Turkish and All About Arms.
"Ruby has proved to be a master instructor and her dancing is exquisite. And on top of being absolutely amazing, she is a down-to-earth and generous instructor." — D. English
