Sultana has loved to express herself through movement to music since before she could walk. She is one of the most popular, dedicated, and exciting soloist belly dancers in the New York night club and hookah lounge scene, performing regularly at various venues and private parties throughout the NYC area. Sultana's performances are known for being passionately expressive and exude enthusiasm, energy and superior technique. Her warm and outgoing personality compliments her energetic style, making her outstanding and in high demand as an entertainer.
In addition to performing weekly at several NYC restaurants, nightclubs, and hookah lounges, Sultana has also performed for many special events and parties throughout the New York area and beyond including performances for Saudi Arabian Royalty, the grand opening at Le Souk Harem nightclub in New York City, NYC's Mercedes Benz Fashion week, movie opening parties for various celebrity audiences, the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Egyptian room opening, world famous nightclub Webster Hall, the popular TV show America's Got Talent, several music videos, a New York Film Academy movie production, and by invitation at the closing gala for the International Bellydance Conference of Canada. Sultana has made appearances with Bellydance America on Fox's Good Day New York, and has had the privilege of doing the introduction to Mohamed Shahin's DVD Dance Like an Egyptian Vol. 2.

Sultana began her dance training at the age of 5 in jazz, tap, lyrical, character and ballet, performing and competing in local and national competitions. A natural lover of show business and the arts, she cultivated a passion for the stage, performing, and pageantry at an early age, gaining poise and showmanship as a child. A Minnesota native, she became involved in many opportunities to perform such as beauty pageants, dance competitions, cheerleading events, and musical theater productions. She discovered her love of Middle Eastern dance in 2002 and has become dedicated to the art form ever since. Sultana's relationship with dance is like traveling a never ending and amazing journey, each step of the way progressing forward revealing beauty and love. She is continuously learning and being inspired along the way through her experiences with life.
Her charisma, warm personality, technical strengths, energetic style, and dedication to her art has gained her recognition among the belly dance community and those who love the performing arts. In addition to performing, Sultana currently teaches weekly classes at Bellydance America and has taught the art of Middle Eastern dance at other prestigious schools throughout the New York area such as Steps on Broadway, the Manhattan Movement and Arts Center, Queens Community College, and Taliah Performing Arts Center.
In addition to dance, Sultana is also a talented theater and film actress and is an active member of New York City's Michael Chekhov Theater Company. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications and Psychology.
"Sultana was a joy as a performer. Her professionalism and willingness to travel to our event was awesome. Her dancing was top notch and her joy in her art was evident for all to see. The interaction with the audience was spectacular and truly made the event memorable. Sultana will be my first choice as a performer the next time I put together a party. From start to finish, all I can say is well done and wow! She will make your next party, not just good, but great! I look forward to working with her in future endeavors."
