Cleveland Belly Dance Examiner

"The amazing Mariah followed with a classical cabaret piece. The Spanish-influenced chefta telli music accompanied her slow, sensuous and controlled technique. A floral veil, and zills added to the mystique enhanced by shimmies and delicate arm movements. Mariah’s professional experience and award-winning  style is evident in the perfection and confidence she exudes. Beauty in motion."
