Skylar

Born and raised in and around Phoenix, Arizona, Skylar can hardly recall a time when dance in one form or another was not an integral part of his life.  From whirling around drum circles to performing in the cast of Rocky Horror Picture Show, expressive movement is continually a part of his life.

Skylar's fascination with bellydance began with a chance encounter with bellydance pioneer Carrie Konyha at a street fair in Tempe, Arizona.   Carrie was the first to recognize his potential and encourage him to pursue and develop his impressive innate talent.

After several years wandering the West Coast, Skylar has settled down in Portland, Oregon where he hopes to complete his education and establish himself in the dance community.
