The Gilded Serpent presents...

Michelle Braun

Residing in Fresno, California, Michelle has been a part of the Middle Eastern dance circuit in the San Joaquin Valley for about five years now. She studies dance with Cory Zamora, who teaches an ethnic, free-style Cabaret technique. Michelle performs with Belly Dancing by Zamora, the professional troupe, and with the Renaissance guild of Zamora's Gypsies.

Michelle is a freelance writer and editor. She recently began designing Web sites in her "spare time." She hopes to use her literary skill to promote Middle Eastern music and dance: "I want to help others acquire a deeper understanding of the ancient, beautiful and pure art form known as belly dance."

Please link to The Big Drums© below to view Michelle's latest Web designing project with musician-friend Ed Karagozian. This site can be your resource for information on musicians, dancers, and instructors in the Central California area, and for news of upcoming Middle Eastern events in the San Joaquin Valley.
