Mary - Santa Barbara, California

Meet Mary		How I came to Hipness
I am a professional Oriental dancer currently based in Central Coast California.		I saw a group dancing at the fitness center on my university campus and had to sign up for the next session of classes. Little did I know what a passion it would become!

Hip Travels		Favorites
I adore NYC, historic Savannah, my hometown (South FL - Ft. Lauderdale/Miami) and Southern Spain. On the "to visit" list are: Cairo (Egypt), Istanbul (Turkey), Greece, Fiji, Japan, Italy, Thailand and wherever else happens to seem interesting at the time!		Dancers - FIFI!, Dina, Morocco, Jihan Jamal Foods - Thai, Middle Eastern (particularly my family's recipes), Cuban food, citrus fruits! Places - the beach, South Florida, NYC, Spain, San Francisco, anywhere that serves good (red) chile sauce in Albuquerque, I like a lot of places...
