Champion of Diversity Award goes to Terri Allred Terri Allred, Owner of Rochester International Dance Studio, has received the annual “Champion of Diversity” award given by the Diversity Council to recognize significant contributors to diversity in Rochester. She was presented with the award at the Diversity Council’s Annual Event. Mary Allen, a long time student of Allred wrote in her nomination, “Her new dance studio and her philosophy of acceptance of all types of differences—cultural, age, size and shape, social position, talent or lack of it, etc. make her a Model for Diversity! She is more than a business woman—she truly cares about each and every person she comes in contact with, and her classes are a joy to attend.”
Zaghareet Magazine publishes series on Ethics written by Terri Allred The Nationally acclaimed Zaghareet magazine has published the first in a series of articles on the ethics of teaching belly dance written by Terri Allred of Rochester International Dance Studio. Allred, who has a Master of Theological Studies has published articles and a book prior to this, but has never written for a belly dance publication.

truth that women of all backgrounds are
unique and beautiful! She provides each
individual with special attention and positive
feedback. Her classes are a fun and joyful
exploration of the fine art of belly dance."
