dancer Carolena Nericcio for overcoming her health problems and for being so creative,
those who give their all and integrity for their art, writing, dance and music . I love Jill Parker, Rina Rall,Dalia Carella, Rachel Brice, and others; I admire Artemis Mourat , her dance and her work as an activist (for the Rroma), her writings and research on Middle Eastern/ etc Turkish dance, dance anthropology,
Gandhi , Martin Luther King , Malcolm X, Rosa Parkes, and all those other civil rights workers, leaders and humanitarians around the world, those who work tirelessly behind the scenes.
art, writing (non-fiction and fiction) dance anthropology,
performing, language, linguistics, sociology and
cultures, current affairs, social issues, gender relations and issues
love bellydancing and flamenco, which I both started in 1998.
I love dancing and researching all sorts of styles- Egyptian cabaret: folk/saaidi, Turkish cabaret, Turkish Rom, Dunyavi (World) Gypsy , ATS (American Tribal), Moroccan schikhatt, Tunisian and learning/exploring styles, newer to me: Zambra Mora ( a form of flamenco, which was originally part of Gitano weddings in the Sacramento Hills, Spain, and has been developed in many Bellydance communities, as a form of Spanish-Arabic/bellydance fusion ), Berber Styles, West African dance, Tribal fusion and so on.
I absolutely adore flamenco, even if it's quite a challenge, but a challenge worth pursuing. With both both flamenco and bellydance, I enjoy the various friendships, the travelling,the performances, the learning,the appreciation of the cultures, histories and the art! ; D
I started teaching monthly Middle eastern dance classes, in June 2003.
I teach English as a second and a foreign language at a college, so I work with a lot of foreign students, or people settled here, whose first language is not English.
I like to write in my spare time- mainly articles on Middle eastern/Flamenco dance/culture/histories/arts//literature/ dance anthropology etc. I love drawing and illustrating too. I often write for Middle eastern dance magazines in the Uk and also websites. I'd like to try my hand at creative writing.
I have many other interests including cinema/foreign cinema/languages/ different cultures, Moorish history/culture and arts,music, reading (anything!) the Arts,complementary medicine, socialising with good friends, good, intelligent converstion, the cafe culture, doing voluntary work with Oxfam, and so on.Sometimes I can be quiet and reflective, but I am friendly, sensitive and energetic; I love the company of good, kind, fun humorous and caring friends. I appreciate sensitivity, depth, generosity, humour and intelligence and learning from everyone!
Mukie The Virtual Cat
Who I'd like to meet:
Good friends. Fun people. Networker. I'd also like to write and share small articles/blogs/ideas on Middle eastern dance, flamenco, culture, art, history, current /social affairs and so on. I hope ,one day people's perceptions about Middle eastern /bellydance can be gradually and thoughtfully challenged!
Anyone who has a bit about them, be it courage, sense of humour, humanity etc .
Famous (if only!!): Nelson Mandela, Alice Walker, bell hooks, Bianca Jagger (peace activist) Harold Pinter.
