about me
I just refuse to grow up ! I am a 65 yr old, acitve woman. Been belly dancing about 7years now, beginning with Cabaret style in Las Vegas, and recently went back to ATS with Wildcard Bellydance in Rohnert Park, Calif. For the previous year did Eygptian traditional and belonged to the troupe Moondance with Judith Light. Took dance classes since a kid, off and on, was a disco queen in the late 70's, and had ballet, jazz and hula years ago. I'm a horsewoman, but my old mare died about 2 years ago.so . I started making fusion type yarn belts, and mozuna ropes about a few years ago, and been selling them to other dancers and classmates. Its almost like a meditation when I'm braiding a belt --- just love it. . Married the Love of My Life this past May, and he enjoys and supports my dancing. Been a horse lover and rider most of my life, but can't afford my own anymore since I retired. I am taking lessons on a Peruvian Paso horse, using the traditional Peruvian equitation when I can, and belong to the Wine Country Peruvian Paso Club now! I started volunteer teaching at the local 'Senior' center last year, trying to spread the joy -- and it is a joy seeing 70 ish or older women giving it their best!

Re: Hair wont stay curled! HELP! (in Makeup and Hair for Dancers) Sounds like my hair! I have found the small braids on damp or wet hair works best for my hair. When you undo the braids, just run your fingers thru it, not a comb or brush. As someone suggested, the braids don't have to be evenly spaced either. I ... read more

Re: People talking about you??? (in bellydance crones) I have had some responses to me bellydancing ( starting at 59 now 65). I can always tell when people are uncomfortable with it, because they just smile meekly and don't know what to say. The ones who are cool, and cheering me on, will do just that... read more
