About Me

Malik Turley has been teaching for over ten years. Working with moms in labor and watching their natural movements led Malik to explore belly dancing as a way to enhance her doula practice and she fell in love with the art form. She has been dancing on her own and with clients ever since, using a variety of belly dance styles to help women find the thrill of learning about their bodies through movement. Malik is also the director of Zahara Fusion, a student troupe that performs American-style belly dance in and around the Chicago area.
