Jenny Rivero is a Fusion Belly Dancer. She loves to fuse many styles influenced by her previous dance experience in Polynesian, Modern, Flamenco, Hip-hop, Cumbia, and several other styles of dance. Jenny began belly dancing after seeing students dance at her Community College in South Lake Tahoe in 2004. She was captivated by the music and costumes and knew that she wanted to learn. She then was taught basic movements of Bellydance by teacher Nikki Niebauer and Namira from South Lake Tahoe, Ca.

As time progressed she started to learn about the different styles of belly dance. She then learned Egyptian style bellydance in 2006 in San Bernardino, Ca with teacher Judy Acuna. She then moved back up North to the Bay Area and began classes in BlackSheep BellyDance format with her teacher Seba now founder of Wildcard Bellydance. She continued her studies in ITS with Wildcard Bellydance performed under their student troop Blackdiamond Bellydance 2007-2009. She started her solo career in 2010 as she fell in love with tribal fusion after watching a Rachel Brice video. She then took many workshops with well renowned bellydancers such as Rachel Brice, Zoe Jakes, Jill Parker, Frank Farinaro and many others. She took fcbd classes in San Fransisco to learn more about ATS. In 2011 she intensively studied in Costa Rica at Rachel Brice's Bellydance retreat. She then continued to perform solo's until she reunited with her BlackSheep BellyDance format in 2013 and was taught by Kajira Djoumahna herself. She is so happy to have met, learned and perform with Kajira herself that she wanted to spread her love for this format and decided to get certified to teach at Tribal Fest 2014. Jenny now holds a level 1 & 2 certification to teach Kajira Djoumahna's BlackSheep BellyDance format. She thanks Kajira for all the love she spreads and for being a great supporter in Jenny's dance career and in life. Jenny has never felt as passionate about any art form or community until she found Bellydance. She continues to learn all styles of dance in order to be a well rounded Fusion Dancer. She currently resides in San Bernardino, Ca and has had the pleasure to have been learning popping by her teacher Edenia Archuleta. She was more than thrilled when she realized Edenia lived in the same neighborhood as she did, and was determined to learn from Edenia Archuleta. She is very happy to have meet and danced with many talented dancers and hopes to do more of it as she continues to grow in this dance form.

Jenny Rivero has had the pleasure to have performed with San Francisco band Diego's Umbrella from 2010-2013. She's also performed live with well renowned Dj Govinda in Los Angeles. On October 2013 Jenny won 1st place New Talent Category at North Bay's Bellydance Bazaars Bellydance Competition. Last but not least on the Summer of 2014, Jenny performed as part of the Tribal Fusion cast in Jillina Carlano's world class production, Bellydance Evolution: Alice in Wonderland. She feels honored to have shared the stage with some of the leading belly dancers of today, and to have performed at the Ford Amphitheatre in Los Angeles.
