Isidora Bushkovski has been a dancer all her life and fell in love with belly dance in 1992. Her degrees through the University of Minnesota are in History and Dance, and she has studied various traditions of movement from around the world including stage and folk dances of the Middle East and North Africa, flamenco, Mexican folklorico and martial arts. Rather than devote herself to one specific tradition, she prefers to blend these diverse forms into her unique style called Tejedora which means “weaver” in Spanish. She has been a premier dancer in Greek and Moroccan restaurants, and now performs predominantly on stage as a solo artist, and with her students.

Isidora teaches regularly throughout Southern Colorado and is the coordinator of the Rotating Monthly Student Nights. She also teaches and performs around the country and internationally, has danced for the International Academy of Middle Eastern Dance, and is one of the stars of Temptation of Belly Dance and Fantasy Belly Dance, both cutting-edge DVDs designed to raise the level of belly dance to a high art of theater & film.en
After being hit by a drunk driver in 2000, she slowly began teaching again, sharing with her students the many things she learned in recovery, such as body alignment, natural movement and soul searching. The dance drills that she created during physical therapy have become the foundation of her teaching technique, lovingly named by her students Isidora’s Belly Dance Boot Camp, scheduled for video production soon. Over the past years, she has once again begun to perform regularly, dedicating her life to The Dance and to sharing it with others. It is her profession, her principle, and her pastime, but most of all, it is her passion.

Isidora, a name bestowed by two dear friends and fellow dancers, means "the gift of Isis."
