about me
I started belly dancing in 2007 mostly through videos, in January of 2008 I started taking Egyptian style lessons. I try to learn as much as I can on my own to compensate for having classes only once a week.

Re: Giving Credit
(in The Biz of Belly Dance)

I haven't been around the "bellydance scene" very long at all, but I am getting the impression that Rakkasah is... read more discussion post on Wed, October 21, 2009 - 8:05 AM

A journalism classmate of mine did his art review assignment on my belly dance performance for International Week a few weeks back. The article got published for the last issue of this semester's The Stall, our college newspaper.
