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.

My Blog

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.

By the way, on an unrelated note, I want to wish you all happy holidays!

Today I performed for the third time in my life, but this performance has been different from my others in that it was not organized by my dance studio.

It was International Week at college, so I did this little performance because I thought it would be a good idea to start taking low-key, low-stress student performance type of opportunities so that I can get used to performing in front of an audience.
