about me
I'm married, with one young son and too many pets. I work as a freelance dress and costume maker. I've been bellydancing since 2003. I discovered ATS in 2005 and 'got' it in a major way. I dance in two troupes in Wrexham: Nawari, which is mostly tribal and folkloric, and Weird Sisters Gothic Bellydance troupe. I am chief cat-herder for Gothla UK, the UK's premiere Gothic Bellydance Festival: www.gothla.co.uk.
If you want to invite me to join your network and I don't already know you IRL, please tell me a bit about yourself and why you think we should network.

Dear Mr Jones
I am writing with regard to the recent amendment to the Criminal Justice Act concerning curved bladed swords. This amendment, which came into force on April 6th 2008, makes no distinction in its wording between blunt or sharp swor...

OK, know I understand what all the fuss is about.

So I bought myself a pair of Melodias. The fabric is great. The cut is gorgeous, and the styling great. I am a fan. OK?

Oh My God, it's happening *tomorrow*! I can't believe that 9 months of planning and emailing and chatting and dancing and panicking is about to be over in three days time. I've been totally gobsmacked by the reaction to our festival. It's grown fr...

Bellydance existential angst.

My first blog entry here. I have an LJ, but I don't think many of my LJ friends would be interested in this!
My burning question just now is why am I here? What am I doing this for?

Dear Mr Jones
I am writing with regard to the recent amendment to the Criminal Justice Act concerning curved bladed swords. This amendment, which came into force on April 6th 2008, makes no distinction in its wording between blunt or sharp swords, or their cultural origins.
I am a semi-professional bellydancer living and working in Wrexham. One of the traditions of Middle Eastern dance is the balancing of sabres or scimitars in both men's and women's dance. I have been practising and te...

I would be leaving behind my elderly mum, my fledgling and enthusiastic dance troupe, and occasional well-paid employment as a theatrical costumier.

Oh My God, it's happening *tomorrow*! I can't believe that 9 months of planning and emailing and chatting and dancing and panicking is about to be over in three days time. I've been totally gobsmacked by the reaction to our festival. It's grown from a idea of getting a bunch of UK Goth bellydancers together for an alternative hafla, into an international event with teachers from the US and event-goers from Germany, Scandinavia and Ireland. Total strangers have sent me large amounts of their c...

I got into bellydancing because I wanted to learn to dance, and started to perform as part of a troupe which I really enjoyed. Then I was introduced to Tribal style, which I totally fell in love with and wanted to join a troupe, but there wasn't one, so I had to start my own. As there are only two of us, w...
