A natural trance dancer, Suzahna has an unusual ability to acutely connect bodily to drum rythms. Suzahna's early dance years were spent doing solitary trance dance, and even today, her favorite way of dancing is within a circle of live drumming. |

Fulfilling her intense desire to perform interpretive spiritual dance, Suzahna in 1996 became a member of Praise In Motion, a Christian ballet-based dance company and danced under the direction of Kathy Thomas-Law, formerly of the Atlanta Ballet. She performed liturgical dances in churches throughout Atlanta and surrounding cities. |

Suzahna went on to choreograph her own work and dance as a soloist, performing
in large sanctuaries with live choral and symphonic accompaniment, and at spiritual retreats. |

Suzahna was initially introduced to many styles of Middle Eastern folkdance by dancer, choreographer, and musician Sherifa El-Bakkar of Atlanta, Georgia. |
