Gabi is a dancer of European roots with some Russian blood, all American life and an Oriental soul. The fascination and sentiment for Arabic culture has been filling up her heart all her life, along with a yearning to dance our her femininity and creativeness until she found this great passion of her life.

She has grown up surrounded by artistic influence as her parents were both actors, watching her mother from backstage of a theatre, she knew she belonged on a stage herself but was pulled more toward dancing. None of the modern dances created enough opportunity for her to express herself as an artist, none of them would allow a woman to tell her own story of life, love and sorrow in the way this dance does. In this beautiful art form Gabi feels she can connect with her emotions, her sensuality and also let her playful nature come out free as a butterfly. All this makes the whole experience healing and empowering. That joy is shared with her audience and students.

Gabi has studied with master teachers and performed in troupes, parties, restaurants and local festivals.
