Valentina (UNITY) is a second generation belly dancer who was raised in the underground Los Angeles art scene by her mother, Leela, a successful theatrical belly dance icon. Belly dancing alongside such acts as the Mutaytor and Karis, Valentina was exposed to hoop dance as a freshman in high school!
She now emerges as a performer and instructor in the arts of belly dance, hoop dance, fire and burlesque. Her ability to seamlessly combine these dance forms gives her a unique and provocative vision unlike any other. Valentina's Hoop Burlesque act was featured on Showtime's Live Nude Comedy in August 2009. Valentina is the leader of The Hoop Unit, a fusion performance group that debuted in June 2009.
