An equally important facet of good health involves physical movement. Dance is a celebration of the body which can be therapeutic in and of itself. Tava has been in dance classes since the age of four, studying ballet, tap, jazz and modern dance. It was middle eastern dance (belly dance), that became her true love in 2000 while taking her first class with Andrea Beeman. The hypnotic drumming coupled with the intricate and graceful movements of the dance made Tava into the devoted student she continues to be, as it is her goal to always further her dance training. Tava has performed, both as a soloist and as a member of Andrea's dance troupe, Raqesat el- Yaqoot, at clubs and theaters throughout New York City and the tri-state area. Her style is American Cabaret and Folkloric with Moroccon, Turkish, and Egyptian influences.

Tava is available to perform at weddings, restaurants, benefits, nightclubs and bachelorette parties.
