I'm trying so hard to resist it... but Dancing with the Stars and other new dance shows are making it so hard
I have been studying this dance form for many years, under the direction of over a dozen various teachers. With a strong background in Egyptian Cabaret and an addiction to the American Tribal Style, I perform everything from the more traditional belly dance pieces, to the cutting-edge numbers that fuse other elements like Flamenco, Indian and Pop & Lock.
I am a member of several professional belly dance troupes, however I continue to enjoy performing solo work. I am available for performing at weddings, birthdays, and other festive occasions (NO bachelor parties).
I am also a teacher and a choreographer. I lead several classes in New York City and can also be commissioned to create choreographies.
***** New classes at 440 Studios, Greenwich Village, NYC starting February 9th, 2009:
- Level 1 – Introduction to Belly dance Basics. This is a class for absolute beginners and is not style specific. Learn the basic elements of isolation and fluidity in a friendly, supportive environment.
- Open Level – Open level technique class, drills and combinations with Tribal flavor
- Level 2 - Cabaret and Tribal combo's with an introduction to finger cymbals! challenging and fun

Ok, seriously... In case I didn't say it enough last night (and believe me when I say I didn't. Lack of sleep prevented me from truly making a fool of myself and truly expressing my joy) you were GODDARN SPEC-TAC-U-LARRRR!! I really meant it when I said you made my dreams come true with that sword. I think you're long overdue for me clinging to your leg...
