** Guest Stars
Larrah is an extremely fluid and graceful dancer who joined Embers & Emeralds in 2008.
Linda is not only an enthusiastic member of Embers & Emeralds, she is the official troupe artist! When she was lured into belly dancing four years ago, she found a new subject matter for her art: dancers in action! Linda created the troupe's logo and also has done portraits of local belly dancers as well as other dance-related graphic designs. Some of her art can be seen on the troupe's Cafepress website link.

Lisanna has been dancing all of her life, but it's belly dancing that's brought her tremendous accolades. Whether performing locally, or in California, Florida or Maryland, Lisanna captivates audiences with her signature piece, a fast-spinning double veil routine. Lisanna demonstrates not just speed and agility, but tremendous grace in executing this very difficult dance. She is also a master of zils, or finger cymbals, and one of the few dancers in the United States who excels playing Turkish spoons, traditional folkloric instruments. Lisanna teaches in the Allentown, PA. area.
Suzanne is a dynamic dancer who moves audiences to spontaneously erupt in applause during her signature piece, an elegant dance in which she balances a steel, crescent-shaped sword on her head. Suzanne began her belly dance studies in the earthy American tribal style with Gypsy Caravan in Oregon, but has recently been drawn to the glitz and glamour of American cabaret style. She has graced numerous stages throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Virginia. She also teaches in the Easton, Pa. area.
Zorya’s performances are graceful expressions of her often contagious, and always uncontainable, joy. Standing tall at 5’10,” with blonde hair long enough to sit on—if you could catch her sitting, that is—Zorya is a memorable dancer best known for her ethereal silk veil work and her mesmerizing wing dance. She also plays various flutes at shows featuring live music. She regularly performs in the United States as well in Jamaica.
