Born in Montreal, Quebec, Maral has always loved to dance; she took ballet classes since childhood (approx. 15 years) but eventually tired of it.  When seeking new forms of dance to try, it was a toss-up between bellydance and flamenco...but since starting classes at Arabesque Academy in 2003 she's never looked back; bellydance has become deeply ingrained in everything she does.  She's more recently branched out into American Tribal Style (ATS)and Tribal Fusion, studying under Valizan at Arabesque.  She has taken workshops with Rachel Brice and Zoe of The Indigo as well as Freyja, Khafif and Les Trib'elles.

Maral currently studies Egyptian Cabaret style bellydance and ATS tribal dance, and performs with the Toronto-based tribal troupe Shades of Araby. In 2006 she performed in the bellydance-fusion dance production Evolution...of the human kind. As a soloist, Maral performs tribal fusion and gothic bellydance styles.

Maral is also a gifted costumer and makes all her own costumes, as well as costumes for local dance productions and her troupemates. She is available for custom orders; please email for details.
