I began to study Middle Eastern Dance in the early 90's out of a whim to de-stress from a demanding writing/editing career. Luckily, I joined a thriving academy at the time where I studied from many talented teachers for several years as I became completely captivated by all aspects of this art form; learning, growing, feeling positive, the benefits are endless. I can say with certainty, it is all true. To be honest though, the only other aspect of my life I have felt this completely intense about is my daughter, born in 2000. Immediately following her entry into this world, I took a break from dancing for two years to focus on her and moved to Brantford from the GTA.
Currently (when I'm not in my pajamas or renovating houses), I own and operate a Middle Eastern Dance studio in Brantford called Ancient Moves (in addition to performing and teaching).
My daughter, who is now seven, continues to be the most cherished part of my life and, in turn, she is my biggest fan!
I continue to write on my own, which is now far more enjoyable when I don't have deadlines to meet. Perhaps I'll even venture to publish again ... one day!
... and if you've come this far, why not add the newly developed Lebanese Belly Dance tribe to your tribe.net profile? It can be found at: tribes.tribe.net/lebanesebellydance .
Joining this group will keep you posted on related-topics; and a great way to build a network of like-minded enthusiasts. Thanks for reading this far!
