"O body swayed to music, O brightening glance, 

How can we know the dancer from the dance?"
W. B. Yeats​



Nestled amongst the redwoods on California’s North Coast, Shoshanna has made Arcata into a great place to call yourself a Belly Dancer. There she has many events, hosts workshops, teaches classes, directs the Ya Habibi Dance Company and runs Redwood Raks World Dance Studio (www.RedwoodRaks.com).

​

Shoshanna (aka Rose Anthony) graduated with honors from Humboldt State University in 2003 with a BA in Art History and Studio Art with an emphasis on Graphic Design along with minors in Dance and Psychology and a certificate in Museum and Gallery Practices.

 

Winner of the Belly Dancer of the Year title in 2004, Shoshanna loves training and being dazzled by dancers that show their passion for dance, technique, artistry and musical interpretation. She is proud to serve as dance faculty at Humboldt State University, and when she’s not teaching and dancing she’s usually a princess, superhero, pirate or fairy at an amazing Birthday Party for kids  (www.ShoshannaParty.com) or playing with her own darling daughters who are fabulous, creative dancers.
