"Beside the fire, as the wood burns black, A laughing dancer in veils of light,
Whose dance transforms the darkness to gold"

To sit and watch belly dance is to witness something breathtakingly beautiful.
But to dance it yourself, to feel it and experience it while the music is playing, stirs
a passion deep inside that goes back thousands of years. It empowers you as
a woman, and the more you dance, the stronger and stronger that passion
becomes.

The doors of belly dance were first opened to me by my inspirational guide, “Maya”,
whose teaching continues to this day to help me develop and grow in confidence.
I also studied under respected instructors “Raven” and “Sahara”, and performed
with “Sahara’s Dream” dance troupe for two years.

My number one goal is for my students to have fun while they are learning. The
style of belly dance I teach is Egyptian style, which I find the most flowing form of
belly dance. A big part of the fun is being able to dress up in beautiful costumes,
and become someone totally different from your everyday self.

I believe that every woman should experience the thrill of belly dance.
