	Lurainya Koerber lives just north of Philadelphia, PA. An artist her entire life, she's worked in many mediums, but in 1997 was drawn to the beauty and fluidity of Bellydance, and knew immediately that dance would encompass the rest of her life. For ten years, Lurainya has been a full time professional, teaching and performing American Bellydance and her own Ethnic Fusion. Lurainya has appeared in the media many times promoting the benefits of the dance, and continues to bring it into the mainstream as a respectable art, an innovative form of exercise, and source of spiritual healing. She has produced, directed, and choreographed six dance productions (WDX™), developed a product line of dance shirts and DVD's, and has laid the groundwork for an organization to help improve the self-esteem of women and girls (WomenMove™). She is creator and artistic director of Lurainya's Realm, LLC and MoonGypsy Productions through which she brings these projects to life. In January 2010 she created a non-profit organization called WomenMove. WomenMove focuses on educating and empowering women and girls around the world, while raising cultural awareness through artistic projects. Their current efforts are focused on fundraising to present Lurainya's dance theater production, AMRITA CANDRA, as a benefit show. Proceeds will go to educating women and girls in Africa. AMRITA CANDRA is the first of three shows that will be presented as part of Lurainya's long term World Dance for World Peace series. Following as part of the series will be her REALM production, and her World Dance Extravaganza (WDX). Hoping to inspire and connect all those who see the shows, these productions are based on the idea of fusing different styles of world dance, ancient and modern, to bridge the gap between race, culture and time. In order to bring her vision to fruition and to ultimately make a difference in this world, Lurainya needs the help of individuals and corporations who also believe in her vision that education and compassion are necessary for world peace.
