| Background | |
 |
I am a trained classical dancer and former gymnast that has been dancing belly dance since age 16. Limitations in the early era of belly dance were the lack of teachers. Now there are wonderful teachers everywhere and I continue to study. |
| Belly Dance Classes | |
| I have been teaching dance for over 35 years. Starting with Modern and evolving to ethnic. My style is basically Turkish with Raks Sharki thrown in the mix and I love to morph some Modern Dance, Bhangra, and ballet into certain pieces, but each choreography is unique. I level the classes 101 thru 104, which are professional level and they are small and very friendly. | |
| Performances | |
 |
Performance is the culmination in a few minutes of hours of work and soulful practice. I love to perform (though I love teaching more at this venue)and have performed at private parties, conventions, with a Sufi master to give energy to his meditations, and in many public festivals and college demos, where I disscuss belly dance. I had the best show at a restaurant in ‘89 on the porch with the perfect wind blowing through the veil and being totally in the moment. My best belly dance moment was seeing my 3 year old grandaughter dance at a Middle Eastern restaurant with the bellydancer there. |
