Our Story
Our founder, Dilara Sultan, embarked on a transformative journey in 1999, captivated by the rhythmic allure of belly dance. Guided by her first instructor, Persian dancer Shally Z, Dilara Sultan's passion for belly dance flourished. Venturing beyond Texas, she traveled extensively to Turkey, Egypt, Europe, and throughout North America, honing her professional dancing and teaching skills in diverse cultures, and making Istanbul her second home. Embracing the rich tapestry of belly dance traditions, Dilara Sultan's journey became a quest for authenticity and excellence. Her commitment to mastering the craft laid the foundation for what would eventually blossom into The Belly Dance Studio.
