As a child I learned this dance, and maybe that's why i find the sword balancing quite easy, ps those bottles are half full and have nothing to hold them on but your own balance!

My name is Atlantis yes really, but everyone calls me Atty. How I
got into being a American Tribal Style Belly Dance Teacher was by
pure chance. Lets start with my history hey? I was born in
England to Irish/Hungarian parents, I first started dancing at a very
young age with the usual ballet, tap and modern jazz, but being of
Hungarian origin I soon joined a Hungarian Folk troop, I got to
travel and perform all around the UK and Europe, including behind
the "Iron Curtain". This opened up a whole new aspect of dance,
as I was introduced to all the diverse cultures to be found in
Europe.
Then 6 years ago I found 'Belly Dance'.I was hooked and my
life was changed forever. The movement was real and from
within, a expression of life it's self! Through all the different and
varied styles associated within I found American Tribal Style
and I knew I had found IT!!!!
Once danced, you realise what has been missing from your life.
The chance to connect with other women in a way, through the
mind & body. A gathering of female spirits, the working and
laughing together that only close friendship can bring. I cant lie
the costume helped as well, the fabrics and the jewelry wow!
Then in 2004 I got the chance to teach and have never looked
back. I teach basic and more advance following a mixture of
styles from Fat Chance,Black Sheep and the amazing Gypsy
Caravan. I love the sword and I am working at the moment in
trying to work more veil in to my dancing.
I have met and made such great friends with some of the nicest
people who in today's fast world like me, need that bond that
only dancing together can do.
After living and teaching in the west of Ireland I have up and moved yet again (talk about restless feet) and I now live in a tiny little island in the middle of the Med. The place I now call home is the beautiful island of Malta!
