Wesley's love for movement began
early in his life. Training in martial
arts through much of his school
career he found his passion for
creating art with his body. Moving
from martial arts to Middle Eastern
dance at age 16, due to injury, Wes
began his path into performing arts.
Wes has studied Turkish Cabaret, a
freestyle form of belly dancing, for 6
years under his mentor Cory
Zamora in Fresno California.
Relocating to the Pacific Northwest
Wes began to branch into other
ethnic styles of dance including
Hula, Tahitian and Fire dancing.
Wesley is adept at all forms of
Arabic and Turkish dance including
the use of Zills, Cane, Sword, Tray,
Whip and Cape/Veil. As well as
Turkish 9/8.
Drawing on his vast knowledge of
the performing arts Wesley is able
to create a memorable and
engaging experience for any
audience.
