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 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
