Kalinka began her first belly dancing class in a gym in Sao Paulo and soon discovered in the city a place called Khan El Khalili, specialize in bellydance class and decided to try it too. Dance has been her inspiration, her outlet for creative energy, her avenue to making friends in a new community after relocating to Georgia (Atlanta) in 2005, and her escape from her 'day job'.

This has been true of all the dance forms she has tried throughout the years. Most of her closest friends since around 2000 have been people she has met through her dance activities.
