Performing since 2003, Ruya got her start in San Antonio,
Texas. Appearing at events around San Antonio, Ruya danced at festivals, entertained at private events and performed as a
soloist at restaurants, cafes and hookah lounges, where her sweet and engaging style was well received.
As with other professional dancers, Ruya is a perpetual student and believes you never stop learning and growing.
She currently receives her own private coaching from two well-known Austin bellydancer performers. She also attends
workshops led by top national and international bellydance stars.
