about me
Lielani is a novice belly dancer. I am taking tribal and cabaret under 2 different teachers. I am obsessed with belly dancing. I enjoy the sense of sisterhood & community in tribal. Luxuriate in the freedom of cabaret. I am an outdoors person when the weather is warm. Enjoy rollerblading, tennis, biking, walking and hiking. I was borned in Hawaii but my parents moved when I was a baby to the Northeast. Every so often I make it back to Hawaii. Hawaii no ka oi. (Hawaii is the best.)

I agree with it would be nice to have more pure, classical bellydance with classical music.
Would also like to see male dancers. Actually the tribal fusion has not impressed as much as a couple years back. For ex. the Saidi performance with ... read more discussion post on Sat, November 21, 2009 - 5:27 AM

I was blessed to have the opportunity to start restaurant dancing several months ago. I have been dancing there and performing at other events pretty regularly. This has help me so much in overcoming more and more my stage fright. Work on improving my dance technique and showmanship. I have many wonderful teachers/dancers to thank for helping me improve more and more. These forums have been a huge help. I am very thankful and grateful to all my family and friends who came out over th...

Found a belly dance teacher a few years back but unfortunately by the time I finally found her, I was up there in age. I totally fell in love w/ belly dance. It became my obsession. I practiced constantly and devoured instructional dvds. I will stay up in the evening watching performances instead regular shows on TV. The whole time, in the back of my mind, is I am racing against time. I am old as it is, I don't have mu... read more 
Friday, July 10, was my first paid restaurant performance. It was so exciting! I have first of all my teachers, particularly my tribal teacher Ms. Vikki to thank. She is the main performer at this restaurant. She was looking for a couple subs and asked me if I wanted to be one. I didn't even think I was in running for restaurant performance due to my age and experience. She was a great Mentor in preparing me along with people in the forums.

Both teach their students great in their own unique style. Our tribal teacher offers 4 different levels of ITS tribal! I don’t know any other that offers 4 levels of class. This teacher is so fantastic, even in this economy, she is full. Not only does she offer 4 levels of ITS tribal, but she also offers Skills and Drills which she mixes up. It can be soloing, swor... read more

Finally, couldn't take it anymore. My hubby and I booked a long weekend getaway to Sedona, Arizona. What an awe-inspiring and peaceful place. We hiked many trails, visited Cathedral Rock, Montezuma Castle, other Native American ruins, and Chapel of the Holy Cross. We went to a Wildlife Park. That was a lot of fun particularly the Tiger Splash. In the evenings we would dine out at the most romantic restaurants. The food wa... read more
