Raised in an artistic family, I was born with the rhythm of Middle Eastern dance and music within me. I’ve been dancing since I was in my mother’s womb and it continues to be a necessity in my life. In the Early 70’s my mother had a belly dance troupe of about eight women who always performed to live musicians: Hal Marcus, renowned composer Doug Adamz of Light Rain, and who ever else was around that day. I would watch them dance their goddess dance; I wanted to be like them: graceful, feminine and soft with the strong, powerful soul of a warrior. |

| I have been teaching for about 5 years in San Diego and give workshops around the country. My style is focused on finding the dance within you. We all have an amazing ability to tap into our powerful Chi (life force), my goal as a teacher is to help you rekindle that flame and express it through Middle Eastern Dance. |  |

Performing and teaching is my life! I love every second of it. When I am on stage nothing else matters, I am transported to a timeless, perfect moment where everything and everyone is connected by music and movement. For the past 2 years I have been performing a public show once a month with my sister (we are The Shimmy Sisters) and my husband’s band, Danyavaad at Portuglia in Ocean Beach. It is the first Friday of each month. Other than that we do countless private and corporate parties. |
