She trained under Tamalyn Dallal, Kami Liddle, Deb Rubin, and studied with many other world famous dancers such as Amel Tafsout Dalia Carella and Ahmed Hussain.
Gwenda was 50 when she took her first belly dance class, She had never taken any formal dance lessons before then, unless you count ballet when she was 5. She claims she used to be shy, but those who know her now find that hard to believe.
