Nadeen Soliman

Nadeen began dancing at age four in the greater DC area.  Under the direction of Chinese Ballet Master Dawei Zhang, she was put on dance scholarship at the Potomac Dance Centre at age twelve.  After training in classical ballet, pointe, jazz, modern dance, and hip hop, Nadeen was invited by Liliana Andreu and Dawei Zhang to teach at the Potomac Dance Centre at seventeen. She has danced extensively in master workshops across the United States and abroad.

In 2006, Nadeen opened and co-directed a studio in Maryland focused on performance pieces and dance competitions.  The studio thrived with over three hundred students between the ages of two and half to twenty years old.  A select group of children were chosen to be a part of the studios competitive team -- a group that went on to compete nationally and win several awards in ballet, hip hop, lyrical, contemporary, and jazz routines.  The success of these dancers came from a well rounded training in all styles of dance.

Nadeen moved to San Francisco in 2013 and now lives in Menlo Park with her husband and daughter.  She began the dance program at the OFJCC in Palo Alto when she first moved where she taught ballet and hip hop to three to ten year olds.  She also teaches the after-school program at the Gideon Hausner Jewish Day School and is the choreographer for Menlo Atherton High School Musical Theater Productions. Luna Dance was opened in June 2016.  We are thrilled to start this new and community-based studio with you all!
