Anne-Lorraine Bahi started dancing ballet at the age of four at Aix-en-Provence Conservatory, in the south of France. Ballet dancer by training, then introduced to Modern by Laurence Ciccarelli, she has strong roots in Modern and Jazz and has taught a large variety of dance including Modern, Ballet, Jazz, Tap, hip Hop and Dance Aerobics. While pursuing her degrees in Mathematics and in Dance in Paris, she choreographed and performed for events promoting dance studios and gyms, inspired by Martha Graham, Alvin Ailey and Laurence Ciccarelli. After completing her PhD in Mathematics and her minor in Dance, she moved to Senegal, Africa, to follow her passion for dance as a dance teacher for children and adults and a choreographer in vacation resorts.

 Back to France, she actively participated in many shows and dance events as a choreographer and a dancer, while working as a Head Hunter for High Tech companies.

Since moving to the Bay Area seven years ago, she has been teaching children and adults, choreographing and performing in national and international events.

 In addition to teaching, Anne-Lorraine was co-founder, co-director and choreographer of the Bacigahi Dance Company, which performed at dance festivals in the Bay Area and in France.

 Following her first dream of having her very own dance company, Anne-Lorraine has developed her own distinctive modern style and has been Harmony Performing Company’s director since 2001. Her company performs mostly as a guest company in dance events or concerts in the bay area, such as Ariel Dance Productions and Romanesque Dance Company.

In June 2004, Anne-Lorraine Bahi took over Carol's Petersen School of Ballet. She added to the program Jazz, Tap, Modern, Ballet and Fitness. Ever Since, Anne-Lorraine has been offering excellent quality dance class, focusing on technique while having fun. She is producing every year a dance recital highlighting Harmony Dance students' work and Harmony Dance Company repertoire.
