Sylvana (aka Chris Campbell) has a polished and yet exuberant dance style. Her love of the dance and the music comes out as soon as the music begins.  Music and dance go hand in hand for obvious reasons, and Sylvana uses dance to interpret the mood of the music and to put movement to the underlying rhythms.

 An admitted fan of both Egyptian and Persian Top 40 music, she has also recently been experimenting with dancing and choreographing to more classical Middle Eastern orchestral music.  Fortunately for all of us who enjoy this art form, there is a lifetime of music and dance to continue to explore.
