ABOUT Jennifer "Jensuya" Carpenter-Peak
Dancer JENSUYA began her training in 1973 when most of her childhood was spent overseas immersed in other cultures. In 2002 she began belly dancing with classes, workshops, self-guided study, and more travel to the Middle East. Two years later, she and her husband, musician Robert Peak, founded their music and dance ensemble, TarabRaqs. Since then, Jensuya has produced and performed in hundreds of live music and belly dance shows. With honors bestowed by the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, the American Turkish Association, and a feature profile on the U.S. Government-funded Alhurra TV network broadcasting to over 24 million viewers in the Middle East, Ms. Carpenter-Peak is on the forefront of Middle Eastern dance in America.
