Seba is the Troupe Director of WildCard BellyDance. She has always loved dance in all its many forms, however, in 2002 she discovered American Tribal Style and it has been her passion ever since.  What drew Seba to this style of dance is the intuitive connection that is felt between the dancers as they dance this synchronized group improvisation style of belly dance. Her passion for this style of belly dance has led her on an incredible journey.  After years of studying, traveling, performing and teaching, Seba and WildCard BellyDance are very pleased to present their WildCard BellyDance ITS (Improvisational Tribal Style) belly dance format.  They are joyfully revisiting more traditional ATS foundations while introducing their own new twists, combos and transitions.
