I'm a 22 year old first time mother to a two year old baby boy. I was dancing when I found out that I was pregnant about two weeks into my classes. I came to class until I was about eight months pregnant, then stayed home until I had him (and yes, I even performed with that big belly!). About three weeks into postpartum, I started to attend classes again and established my posture once more. After feeling that the place wasn't for me about two months later, I worked for a short bit then found a new place to call "home". Ever since, I have been looking to start a troupe and expand my local area. Luckily, I have found another belly dancer in the Tribal expertise to help!
At first I used Sharon Kihara's Tribal Fusion DVD just for exercise. Then I bought Rachel Brice's arms and posture DVD and watched the performance on there. Least to say, I was brought to tears just from the awesomeness and vowed that I wanted to dance as a professional from that day on. So, indirectly, Rachel Brice brought me into this awesome culture.

Dancer
Dance style(s): Tribal Improv
I'm a beginning performer with nearly three years experience in dancing. If you are in my area and would like a performance, I'd be more than happy to assist you!
Teacher
I just have almost three years training in Tribal, but I know the basics well enough to teach a beginner class. I also have training in beginning zills and beginning ATS style. I have also studied with Kajira Djoumaharo (creator of Black Sheep Belly Dance and Tribal Fest) and know some of her basics and some advanced dance moves. I have also trained with Obsidia, Michelle Manx, Bahaia, and the Storm Troupers!
