Classes and Private Instruction:

The Development of Kellebek

Alicia Danielle Sinicrope has been studying dance and movement since 1998 at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, focusing then on yoga and ballroom dance. During this time Alicia expanded her dance repertoire to include the Tango, West Coast Swing, Salsa, other various Latin dances and what came to be her favorite partner dance, the disco styled Hustle.

After graduating from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst in 2000, Alicia continued her training at the Paradise Dance studio run by Deborah Cohen. Under Deborah’s close supervision, Alicia joined the studio’s Hustle Team and began performing publicly.

Alicia’s curiosity and love of different dances motivated her to expand her dance experience further to include belly dance. In 2002 she found that dancing with a partner has its own special qualities, but she wanted to be the leader when she danced. And then she discovered belly dance. Her current main teacher and influence is the gifted Sabrina Tarulli who runs “The Ancient Art of Belly Dance” school in Quincy. Alicia began her studies with Rose Champagne of the Pioneer Valley, and also studies with Joharra and Sardis of the Boston area.

Alicia’s passion for dance has inspired her to teach belly dance to young women ages 10-15. Her classes are filled with fun choreography, integrating props for group and solo routines that her students perform. Alicia emphasizes a positive relationship in the classroom and encourages her students to be in touch with the body/mind/sprit connection. She hopes to influence the girls to develop healthy self body images, self esteem, confidence and grace.

Currently Alicia performs regularly at nightclubs and restaurants such as the Kasbah in Winthrop, and the Middle East in Cambridge and puts on belly grams for private functions in the New England area. Alicia’s uniquely eclectic and energetic syle is a joy for people of all ages to watch.

Forever a student, Alicia is always striving to learn more and feels that her background in healing arts, familiarity with world cultures and teaching experience greatly influences her style that has her intimately referred to at times as “Kellebek,” which is Turkish for “butterfly.” ( H. Paige, 2005)
