Manolya Jalila Zaccarina started her bellydance studies in 2003 and had contact with different instructors and influences. Through intensive research, she added to her dance elements from several cultures such as Egyptian, Greek, Turkish and Gypsy, resulting in a unique style.
Manolya performs in hotels, parties and participates of cultural events since 2004. In 2009 she also began teaching bellydance, following her master's Jufih Maat Ayuni advice, and using her same methodology: the techniques are taught in a way the student has the freedom to create movements, always respecting each person's body and time.
Today she works in the duo "Al Jalila", having a partnership with the dancer Jalilah Amal. Manolya is also a professional English teacher and teaches since 2004.
