Mari Millhouse
Belly dancing for over 13 years, Mari has performed at cultural events all
over the state.
She has danced at the reopening of Pershing Square, for then Mayor
Richard Rierdan, Thousand Oaks Arts festival, & numerous events for the
City of Moorpark. In 2000, Mari was flown to Madras, India to perform for
Bollywood’s top actors & producers at the launch of the remake of “The
Thief of Baghdad”.
In 2006 Mari began teaching belly dance. Her style is Cabaret with tribal
influences.
Along with a variety of moves & music Mari also uses props in her dancing
including:
double swords, a variety of fans, veils & cane. Continually watching the
growth & changes in belly dancing, Mari not only keeps up to date with the
trends, but she also retains the traditional look & moves in her dance. To
Mari it is very important to keep the mystique & fantasy people have of
belly dancers so not to disappoint her audience or students.
Mari’s motto is: “Every woman has an inner goddess waiting to be awaken;
come find yours!”
