For Alessandra, dance has been her lifelong passion and joy. When she was introduced to belly dance in 2008 she fell in love instantly. Her journey through this magical and sensual art form has continued ever since.​

Alessandra performs regularly as a solo artist throughout the Seattle area, including being one of the house dancers at Taki’s Mad Greek in Crown Hill, Marrakesh Moroccan restaurant in Belltown, Kosta’s Opa in Wallingford, and The Eye Hookah Lounge in Lake City. In the past, she has also been a house dancer for Harissa Mediterranean Cuisine in Ravenna, Cliffhanger Sports Bar & Restaurant in Lynnwood, Spiro’s Greek Island in Kent, Kasbah Restaurant in Seattle, and Petra Mediterranean Bistro in Seattle.  

She is currently a member of the dance company Raqs al Nujum, meaning “Dance of the Stars”, and was previously a member of the company Lunaria Dance Theatre, which performed cabaret and fusion style belly dance.

Alessandra has been a GoddessLife Certified Belly Dance Workout Instructor since 2010. She is also a certified teacher through Tamalyn Dallal’s Teacher Training in Interpretive Middle Eastern and is Journey Through Egypt Level 1 certified. She previously taught classes through the University of Washington’s Experimental College, Fresh Fitness and Dance, and multiple LA Fitness locations.​ Adding to her fitness experience and credentials, Alessandra also taught aerobics through the City of Seattle Parks and Recreation. 

Alessandra has studied Latin dance, jazz, and ballet, and she is an avid fitness enthusiast. ​Rounding out her development as a dancer, is her time studying the violin, which contributes to her understanding of musical phrasing, rhythms, and interpretation.

When Alessandra isn’t dancing, she loves to travel the world, wear costumes, cuddle with her dog, and curl up with a good book.
