Rissa Miller is a second generation bellydancer and was the founder/editor of Baltimore Bellydance. As a performer, she has studied many styles of dance including American cabaret, Tribal style, Greek, Turkish and Lebanese. Nerissa is known for her dramatic veil work and lively drum solos. Her performance history includes residencies at The Desert Café, The Nile Café and The Red Maple. She has performed at more than 20 different area restaurants and events beyond that including the Best of Baltimore party at Power Plant Live, The PA Fairie Festival, Dance Baltimore! at the Morris Mechanic Theater, Rigatoni’s Greek Nights and the Baltimore Women's Festival. Additionally, she was an invited guest performer with the Bellydance Superstars when their tour stopped in Baltimore on three occasions. Her love for bellydance stems from the movements and how natural they feel to the female form. Every woman can bellydance, regardless of age, weight or shape. The dance itself will conform to any woman and make her feel so alive, beautiful and empowered ~ as it has for centuries!
