About me:

2nd place winner as Headliner in the East Coast Belly Dance Classic competition in 2006. I worked as a Raks Sharki dancer at Marrakesh in Washington D.C. As well as Mem Sahib, Amers, Red Mapel, Fatimas & Moes resturant. I had performed at "The Fabric of Life" at the Smithsonian Institiute of African Art. I had the opportunity to study with two great master teachers, Artemis(Turkish style) and Yasmin(Egyptian style). Before becoming a belly dancer I use to teach at Arthur Murray. So I know basically all types of ballroom dance. I moved from The D.C. area to Lewes about four years ago. Since moving here I performed at Shag restaurant in Rehobeth as well as Smith & Company. And at various local events. I still head back to the D.C. and Baltimore area to perform. And I also started a local dance class at the Yoga Studio on Tuesdays. And at the First State Dance Academy on Thursday nights. I hope to introduce to this area the femininity and fun of belly dance. I also know alot about the culture and roots of this dance that I would love to share this with anyone interested. I am both a Dog and cat person.
