Magdalena is one of the most determined passionate belly dancers I've ever met. She dances like shes been doing it for several lifetimes and she has the motivation to take her to places that I can't even imagine. You must meet this beautiful lady Magdalena! She is the future!

Ive Always wanted to actually be somthing or atleast part of somthing special. When I was about 8 or 9 I started taking Tap and Jazz from Vernetta's dance studio for about a year and a half and I did many shows with my classmates all over San Diego and Palm springs it was fun.....for a while I grew quite tired of doing the same steps and routines over and over again!!!
Then my Tap and Jazz director was gonna be in this middle easter show called "One Enchanted Evening" hosted by Marula. Every Saturday after class I would watch her and another woman reherse and I would just be dazzled and so we orderd tickets to watch the show. I rememberd being sooo amazed by Urban Tribal Dance co., Margurite, Sohaila, Kosher Goddess, Dondi, Atlantis and Merula.
After the show I knew right away that this was my future! So right away I quited my tap and jazz and went on to BellyDancing! I started Taking classes with The beautiful Heather Stants director of Urban Tribal Dance Company! She is such an amazing person and dancer she is like a mother to me. I was the ONLY Kid in her class and that was pretty awesome. So about maybe close to the end of the year I did a Solo performance at the Gargoyle Gallery Cafe after Urban Tribal. And I felt very comfortable performing infront of a large crowd it was such an enjoyment performing. So thats when I started doing "special appearence" shows with them and I did BIG shows that we had to do rehersing for. I was very happy that I was not only somthing but apart of somthing, and I don't mean being with there troupe I mean being in the BELLYDANCE COMMUNITY IN SAN DIEGO!
I have met one of the most greatest dancers!!! And They would invite me to dance with them and perform at there shows and such. And would ask me to take there classes and perform for there students. And Ive performed at soooo many places in and out of San Diego which is amazing especially for someone my age being I guess a "Professional BellyDancer". And I also was teaching 9th graders how to bellydance and making a bellydance routine for there School Talent show, when I was only in 5th grade!
In Feb.19th, 2005: I did the BellyDancer of the Universe Competition in Long Beach hosted my Tonya and Atlantis. I was the last one to perform which meant that all the competitors get to see meBut I sadly lost...but it was such a great expirience and I made freinds with the girls there. And I had fun that I did somthing to boost my BellyDancing up.
In Feb.19, 2006: I competed again in the BellyDancer of the Universe competition once again. It was very nerve recking and I was very nervous so were the other girls there. We all just talked and got to know eacother it was fun. And I was 2nd to last to dance. I did mostly improve and some of the moves were planned....so then we all gatherd up on the stage and they announced the 2nd place winner and it was a girl named Angelika...then finally the 1st place winner of the Junior Solo Category is...............MAGDALENA!!!!!!!! And I had the funniest shock face ever!! And had a "miss. America moment"lol
i'm going to try and start taking classes with sabrina, i think i have just enough spare $$ to do it. so maybe i'll see you there. :) if you feel like helping me practice i would also appreciate it, it's tough for me if i am not around like-minded people.
