JENZA has been dancing for 32 years and teaching for 29. She is the second generation of a 3-generation Belly Dance family (Mom Samira and daughter Sa'Elayssa). She is one of the "old school" belly dancers who will teach you to dance from the heart. Jenza will show you the basics and beyond using her own special technique embodying emotional expression using breath, posture and gesture. Jenza teaches American Cabaret, Turkish Cabaret, passionate Gypsy Skirt dancing, and Fusion styles. Finger cymbals, veils, props (candle, sword & tray), and old style movements from the 1970's including the belly roll are covered in her classes. Her beginning and intermediate classes can be found in Lake Balboa, Valencia, Newhall, and Pasadena. Jenza produces local events, and makes beautiful costumes for sale.

Jenza began her journey with belly dance in 1975 following in the foot steps of her mother, Samira , a widely known dancer and talented costumer. Samira sold handmade costumes under the name "Samira CostumeMaker " beginning in the 1970/80's. Jenza became a popular dancer and sought-after workshop teacher both in California, the Midwest, and internationally in New Zealand. Jenza danced in almost every restaurant or cabaret in the Los Angeles , Orange, and San Diego counties of California spanning the late 70's into the early 90's. Jenza's daughter, Sa'Elayssa, grew up back stage absorbing the dance culture, and became a professional dancer in her own right at the age of 16. Sa' Elayssa, now 26, makes her mom proud with her innovative theatrical solo's and troupe productions as "Desert Sin's" co-director and choreographer. Jenza's classes are known as one of the most fun and lively around. Jenza dances with a joyous energy and emotional presence that is a rare treat. In addition to her many classes and local events, she now partners with her mother, Samira in producing one of the most stunning gypsy skirts in the business.
