Biography
Alexandra
Middle Eastern Dance Artist
Born in Romania, Alexandra has spent nearly twenty years bringing the ancient art of Middle Eastern Dance to some of the most discerning stages and celebrations in the country — a career built on precision, presence, and an unwavering devotion to the craft.
Trained under acclaimed teacher Ruby Jazayre and shaped early on by Sisters of the Nile, Alexandra built her foundation while still a full-time university student — a discipline that would define her career: never letting distance, schedule, or circumstance compromise the standard of her performance.
Her professional stage spans iconic venues across the country, including Koutoubia in Los Angeles, the Music Box Theater in Hollywood, The Prince in Washington D.C., and Azar’s in Virginia, alongside years as a featured performer at renowned venues in Chicago, Indiana, and Florida.
Alexandra has shared the stage and collaborated with some of the art form’s most celebrated names, including Mohamed Shahin and Karim Nagi, debuting acclaimed choreography as part of the Mosaic concert series — performances that established her as a serious artist within the professional Middle Eastern dance community.
Today, Alexandra brings that same level of artistry and precision to weddings, private celebrations, and premier venues nationwide, offering an experience defined not just by movement, but by mastery.
