Doukissa has studied the ancient art of belly dancing and continues to update her skills in workshops and seminars. Belly dance or middle eastern dance is performed in the middle east at nightclubs, for visitors, and more commonly, done at home by women for women. Belly dance is known for its isolated but fluid and feminine movements. Doukissa prefers dancing Egyptian style letting the music influence the movements. She enjoys using cane, candles, and veils to lend an air of mystery to the performance.
