Stephanie became a member of the Tarab in 2011 to complete the casting for 'Rihla - The Journey of Belly Dance'. She performs in London and Leeds under the dance name Arella and dances Egyptian style Belly Dance with a fluid and graceful style. She has a passion for Baladi and Oriental alongside many other styles and also performs with props including veil and stick. She also incorporates dazzling backbends and floor work into her performances.

Stephanie started dancing in 2007, and has since studied with many top UK and international teachers. She recently graduated from the Shafeek Stage School in London and completed the JWAAD Professional Performance Development Course and also dances with the Arabian Dance Theatre.

"I was so happy to be invited to join Tarab and feel very lucky to work with not only great dancers, but close friends too. In the company, we are able to express our individuality and showcase our love of this beautiful dance to our audience."
