Nanette Blake took her first dance class at age 3. With a background that includes 17 years of study in ballet, and 13 studying jazz and tap, she branched out into American Cabaret belly dancing in 2004. In 2013, she began studying Tribal Fusion style and in 2014 took her first ATS and Bollywood classes.
These days, Nanette focuses mainly on a Fusion style that blends belly dance with ballet, hip hop and traditional Indian fusion dances. She enjoys zills, candle and sword work and has also danced with silk fans, veils, and Isis Wings.
Her solo music tastes ranges from traditional Egyptian and Turkish music for cabaret to bands such as Arcane Dimension, Nox Arcana and Beats Antique, to name some, for Tribal. She enjoys mixing it up with contemporary pop music and old time jazz from time to time as well.
A self-proclaimed nerd, Nanette embraces her inner geek and is known to add some fun to her performances by choreographing routines to unexpected music, such as a dubstep version of Headwig’s Theme from Harry Potter.
She currently performs with Alchemy in Motion (Fusion) and Raqs Rebels Belly Dance (Fusion) and is an official member with Shimmy Ninja as of September 2015. She is a former member of The Bellydance Sisterhood (American Cabaret) and The Almas Tribal Fusion Belly Dance Troupe.
