Having a multidisciplinary background and an unending thirst for all things dance, she has performed in belly dance companies as well as flamenco and modern dance companies. She believes that the best innovation is rooted in tradition, thus she has travelled to Egypt, Turkey, Spain and lived for a while in Beirut to study in depth the roots of the dances she is interested in, and from that knowledge, create pieces that innovate and fuse while ringing true and authentic. Connect with Diana Soto: Website: https://dianadancemagic.teachable.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/diana_dancemagic/   About Jenny Cohen:Jenny C.
