It All Began When......


The absolute and total inspiration for my DANCE,
is my daughter Nadia.....
When she turned eight years old in 2004, we decided we wanted to do something special. Something that would keep us close together and having fun as she got older. Too often our children grow and end up having their own hobbies and interest, while we parents get involved with ours. Today she is a young pre-teen of 12, and eventhough she does all the things young ladies her age do, DANCE is the one thing we share together that is sacred to our relationship.
I wanted my child to grow up with a positive body image of herself and Bellydance was the key. This is one of the few art forms or dance that embraces ALL women of all ages and walks of life. When you dance, YOU are a Goddess celebrating life, love, fertility and the special gift of being a woman............
