About

The relationship between Jenny Lia and dance is a lifelong affair. Her first experiences began at an early age, as she was engaged in dance lessons of various styles including, tap, jazz, and ballet throughout her childhood. It was through experimenting with multiple styles that she was able to discover that dance forms possess different energies and are capable of inspiring a variety of effects. This curious passion led her to find further inspiration in competitive cheer-leading, salsa dancing, break-dancing events, and urban dance workshops.

She discovered oriental dance at the age of 18. It was a very pivotal period in her life. While she was obtaining her degree in Communications and International Studies at University of St. Thomas, she immersed herself in Oriental dance education and then realized that dance had become the focus of her life. This decision was heavily influenced by her studies abroad in Buenos Aires and Barcelona, after which she began devoting most of her time to improve her skills. Soon after, she was asked to join the national award-winning troupe Shunyata Fusion Dance, with whom she performed yearly at the Texas Renaissance Festival from (phone number hidden)6.

Dance had taken such a prominent place in her life that her senior thesis was on Orientalism and the Modern Morphology of Oriental Dance, and after graduating she decided to become a professional full-time dancer.

After graduating from UST in 2010, she started teaching yoga and belly dance in numerous events and locations throughout Houston. In 2014, she joined Al Awtar Zaffa Group who performs Middle Eastern Folklore and more recently Dauntless Dance Company, a fusion performance group who performs at a variety of themed events and performs yearly at The Puffin in the Texas Renaissance Festival.
