Born into a loving family and engraved with dance in her DNA, Yareli has always been transfixed on the beauty of self expression through dance. She learned at a very young age that dancing was her ticket to a life of significance. The inspiration sparked on a single day when she was introduced to latin pop artist  Shakira. Shakira being half lebanese & columbian decent, Yareli fell in love with her bellydance style movements and  was immediately intrigued. As time went on she became nearly obsessed and delved into the middle eastern culture.

 

At the age of 14 under top notch Philadelphian instructor, Valerie Rushmere, Yareli began her bellydance training. She then made her first debut performance at Valeries monthly Hafla (Bellydance party) at the age of 15. Since then Yareli has Trained with countless instructors such as: Barbara Capaldi (Latin Ballroom dance), Zoe Jakes( Tribal Fusion bellydance), Eli Torres (World latin dance champion), Rachel Brice (Datura Bellydance), & Sherrilyn Bilger (Fusion & ATS bellydance)

Not long after, Yareli began performing at local Moroccan restaurants in the tri-state area & local public events.

​

She has performed at Rakassah east annual festivals, World cafe live, Atlantic city Tropicana casino events, & much more.
