I've been on Facebook, and I've also just been so busy with buying a house and taking care of a puppy that I've neglected my online bloggery. I've actually been wondering how you've been as well. Want to get together before or after one of your lessons in Pawtucket for coffee? I live about two blocks from 'the mills', so I could meet you.
My journey through the world of dance began at the age of 4. I fuse all dance forms that I have encountered, Classical American Belly Dance being the grounding root. Ballet, Jazz, Latin, Irish step, Modern, even elements of figure skating are mixed with Folkloric, Tribal, Cabaret, and Turkish making a unique tapestry of uniting dance forms. Ive had the pleasure of studying with several fine instructors most notably Suhaila Salimpour, Nourhan Sharif, and The Goddess Coyle. I love working with veil/double veil, fans, balancing tray, zills, floor work. I also hold a teaching background of Fitness, Figure skating, and Belly Dance spanning across 18 years. (Woah!) Ive also studied Kinesiology: Health & Fitness at URI and I am a certified Group Exercise Instructor. Currently I perform with Tevellus, a Middle Eastern groove band; Circus Theatrics; and is a member of The Danger Danger Birds Burlesque Troupe (Awarded Motif's Best Live Act 2009) since 2006. I also perform as a solo act for various events such as music and cultural festivals benefit events, exercise/health and wellness demonstrations, renaissance faires, parties, and private functions. Dancing is my passion and joy!!!
“The result is something truly unique. During the live show, watching Jamie [Lee Fury] belly dance really helps add to the theatrical feel of the music.”
