Biography The girl can't help it. Where's there's music, there's Paola, moving, grooving, and instigating others to the joy and beauty of dance!

A native Macedonian, her first dances were the kolo circles of her motherland (think "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"). She and her sisters would dance the night away to Balkan, Greek, Turkish and Levant styles - a real band of Gypsies right in the heart of the Chicago Slavic Immigrant community.

College kid Paola took her first belly dance class in 1993 and never looked back. When destiny took her to Brazil in 1996, she learned from a variety of Brazilian raqs sharqi gurus for over five years. She was then turned loose as a teacher and wandering seeker of this gorgeous expression of womanly grandeur. The States, Europe, North Africa, and Asia - check out her website to learn more about her dance and drama studies.

Paola landed in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in late 2003 where she opened the Yalla Bina! school of Raqs Sharqi - which now has a new location in Ampang. She has since migrated back to her home, Brazil and continues to teach and perform all over the world and is having the time of her life!
