ABOUT THE ARTIST(S) Jeannie aka Gia is the co-founder of Pure Onyx Movement. She had trained in traditional African for years and entered the bellydance world in 2003. She immediately fell in love with the magic, mystery and abilities of the bellydance movements. Gia's choreography expertly combines western African dance movements with modern and bellydance moves. Pure Onyx Movement teaches free community classes every week. Central to Pure Onyx Movement's body of work is a celebration of the beauty of black history.
