Reischa is a professional Bellydance Performer, Instructor, and Choreographer based in Nashville, Tennessee. She is known for her artistic and authentic representation of Raks Sharki. Her performances reflect a strong focus on Lebanese and Egyptian Stylizations. She is one of the most sought after dancers, especially within Nashville's Middle Eastern Community.

In addition to Raks Sharki, she has extensive training and experience in classical dance and acting. She began studying jazz and ballet during elementary school. Then, while in junior high, she began studying and performing ballet in a church group under Liz Dimmel. Through this experience, she learned the physical and creative benefits of dance. While in college, she continued studying jazz, ballet, flamenco, and eventually bellydance. She was then cast in Tennessee Renaissance Fair as an actor, and had the opportunity to see a bellydance performance by Laylia White. This is when her love for the art form began.

Her performances include many events, weddings, showers, parties, and restaurants. She has been a regular house dancer at venues such as Aladdins Cafe, Memories Cafe, and Yanni's Greek Taverna. Her teaching experience includes 12 years at Vanderbilt University and Centennial Arts Center. Reischa holds a Bachelor of Art in Theatre Performance, with a minor in Voice. She has studied Middle Easter Dance with many accomplished musicians such as George Kerdahi and dancers such as Laylia White, Aziza, and Suhaila Salimpour. She is thankful for those that have continuously given her opportunities to perform and grow in this art form. Shukran.
