Neon is the Publisher of "WorldDance New York" video publishing house, conceptualizing and producing videos and DVDs for dance education and entertainment. Her work has set a new standard for the treatment and presentation of belly dance as a sophisticated mainstream dance art, and has contributed significantly to popularizing bellydance among entertainment consumers, New York nightclub goers and students of dance.

Bellydance is a fun, sexy, elegant party dance, an indispensable feature of the coolest dancefloors of the world and a modern lifestyle component merging the worlds of fitness, sensuality and celebration. It is irresistable.

Originating in the folk dances of the Middle East, Turkey, and Central Asia, belly dance has been a popular variety genre in the West since the mid-20th century. With the rise of world music it has arrived in Western nightclubs and on the party scene. The "sexy" or "sensual" image of belly dance comes from its emphasis on the articulation of the hips, pelvic movement, and fluid undulations. Belly dance movement is organic, deriving from the natural, instinctual motion of the human body: this is the source of its tremendous body-shaping potential.
