DESCRIPTION:
Roxanne Bruscha
Roxanne has been singing since the age of 8, starting in the children's choir at her church and later taking part in vocal competitions in secondary school. A love of performance later led her to attain a BA in Theater at the University of Michigan-Flint and to pursue the study of Belly Dance.

Roxanne has studied a variety of Middle Eastern Dance styles since 1998, through classes, workshops and events both in the US and overseas with various professional teachers. Since 1999 she has appeared in a variety of public concerts, festivals and private venues, and at Renaissance Festivals across the U.S. and in Ireland.

The dance forms she has studied include Egyptian, Lebanese, Saudi, Folk Turkish, Moroccan, Persian, Tribal Style Belly Dance and several more. She also has specialty performance experience in Sword Dancing, Veil Spinning, Mask Dancing, Fire Dancing - Poi and Fire Fans, Snake Dancing, Dancing with Zils and Turkish Spoons, Fusion Fan Dancing and others.

In 2006 she founded the Carnivale Mijnoon Music and Dance Company and worked as the Executive Director, Creative Director, Choreographer, Script Writer, Costume Designer, and Lead Dancer in 2006 and 2007.

At the end of 2007 Roxanne chose to step away from the comedy suffused dance project (while continuing to offer support for the still performing CM group) and throw her primary artistic efforts back into music as the Lead Vocalist, Dancer, Lyricist and Co-Creative Director for Wine and Alchemy.
