Rajani Rea

Rajani Rea	Rajani Rea soloist a.k.a. Maxine Jean Claude! Rajani Rea's first meeting with bellydance in 2003 was quite on accident when she picked up a Veena and Neena instructional DVD. It's been true love ever since. Rajani Rea believes life is beautiful. And, when she dances, it shows. Rajani's style and ability is amazingly versatile, incorporating tribal fusion, as well as passionate Flamenco moves and other more playful Gypsy styles. From dark passion to an airy sophisticated style to historical and modern, she molds to the music. In fact, there are so many facets to her stage personas that she also goes by Maxine Jean Claude for her more edgy and fun pieces. Regardless of being Rajani Rea or Maxine Jean Claude, her presentation will wow you with its confidence and style. She is also a founding member of the University Society of Middle Eastern Dance on Truman State's campus in Missouri and also performs with the St. Louis-based Chuvani Bellydance Troupe. Rajani Rea says, "The power and grace of the subtle movements of the body captivates and blesses."
