I've always seen Belly Dancing as a wonderfully unifying force, bringing together women of all backgrounds through the powerful, wordless and universal communication that is dance and music.  It empowers through femininity.  The dance is not only an outlet for creative energies, but also food for the soul and inspiration for life.  It can be a very personal expression of your inner self, and at the same time a very public forum.

Belly Dance is multifaceted.  It is basically what YOU make it; it can be simply for exercise, it can be another chapter in your study of dance, it can be movement meditation, or it can be part of something even larger - a personal journey towards growth or healing or inner calm, or whatever you are open to.

Belly Dance has been an integral part of my life for a very long time.  I cannot imagine my life without some reference to the dance, be it teaching, performing, costuming, music, or friends.  It continues to evolve for me but it has also been a wonderful constant in my life.  My focus is to share what I know about this art with women and girls of all types and ages, so come discover, nurture and set free your beautiful dancer within.
