Anna Borisova in the Bay

Anna Borisova is a bellydance star from Russia, nowadays one of the most popular bellydance artists in her country. She started Oriental Dance in 2006. 

She has always studied and trained hard by herself, taking part in a lot of competitions in Russia and abroad, making choreographies and creating her own special, unique style. 

During the years of her development she has attended numerous workshops of all the great master teachers of Oriental Dance. But she has found her greatest inspiration in 2009 when she came to Cairo and saw heart touching performances of RANDA KAMEL with the live band. Thanks to this unbelievable dancer Anna was incredibly inspired for her whole life, as she realized what was the real essence of Oriental Dance and immediately felt the burning desire to go on and do something important in the dance. 

In 2011 Anna became the winner of "Randa Kamel of Course" competition in Cairo, dancing with the live band. After that she also won several competitions in Russia with the live Egyptian bands and has been judged by the famous Egyptian masters. She recieved a high appreciation from many Egyptian stars, who mentioned that Anna has an "egyptian soul" and feeling. 

At present time Anna is a teacher at one of the biggest festivals in Cairo - "Raqs of Course" organized by Randa Kamel.

Anna loves improvisation, especially with the live band, because she thinks that only free dancing shows the true soul of a professional dancer and reveals the genuine skills and high level of professionalism.

Anna has developed her own special style, which can be described as strong, deep and very powerful, but at the same time very soft, touching, playful and feminine. Usually she combines strong hip movements with soft arms and powerful shimmies. Anna prefers emotional and impressive dancing using expressiveness and charisma to touch the audience's heart and to catch the eye. She adores Egyptian style and likes to add some modern innovations to it. "Loving, enjoying the music and living a genuine life in the music while being on the stage" - is her motto.

She is a designer of her own costumes. All of them are made with her own ideas and sketches. Anna has a great teaching experience, she is the owner of a large school in her city. 

At the current time she presents her experience to her students all over the world. She has already travelled to such countries as France, Sweden, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, China, Korea, Japan, Argentina, Venezuela, Taiwan, Greece, Mexico, Netherlands, England and many more. Nowadays she is immensely happy to share her knowledge and energy with everyone at her workshops!
