Movement, shapes and combination drills help improve technique while providing a perfect cardio workout. Nyla was born and raised in Tashkent, Uzbekistan - the heart of Central Asia, on the crossroads of the ancient "Silk Road."
Inspired by Erkinoy, a former lead dancer of the famous Uzbek dance troupe "Bahor," and later her private instructor, she began studying Middle Eastern Dance, along with Uzbek, Persian and Gypsy Dance at the age of 16.
