From dancing in front of the TV to belly dancing in Hengelo

With a Dutch father and a Persian mother, Honey was exposed to different cultures at a young age She was born on June 14, 1997 in Almelo, and spent her free time watching Bollywood films, but her love for different types of music was already ingrained due to her multicultural background.

As a little girl, she copied her mother’s belly dance moves in front of the TV, but soon decided to take it more seriously. Zo oefende ze al op jonge leeftijd haar grootste passie uit via verschillende danslessen door heel Nederland en via online met bekende buitenlandse dansers.

A dream come true: Honey's own dance school

Honey tried out almost every dance style there is, such as hip-hop, popping, jazz ballet, and modern, but her love for belly dancing ultimately prevailed. Her Persian mother once made it to dance competitions and Iranian music videos, but Honey had only one goal: to open her own dance school. This drive ultimately led her to start taking belly dance lessons throughout the Netherlands at the age of seventeen. Eventually, she made the transition to the dance school in Heerlen to obtain her certificate in belly dancing, but that wasn’t enough. Honey wanted to learn even more. She began taking online and live private dance lessons from well-known belly dancers. Honey has taken and continues to take lessons from these famous stars: Mahdy Emara from Amsterdam, Loretta from Kuwait, Melissa from London, Aleksandra and Irina Shevchenko (Daliya) from Russia, Medhavi Mishra from India, Alex Delora from Ukraine, Gabriella from Austria. A workshop in Amsterdam with Sadie from the USA. And not to forget Diva Darina, from whom she not only took online private lessons but also obtained certificates at her dance school, and she is still a member of her (Be a Diva) school.
