about me
I've been an Egyptian dancer since 1977. I was privately trained for nearly 3 years in the classical form of Egyptian dance by Maria Archer, who was instructed from childhood on in Egypt. I am Persian from my Grandfather's side, and Wyandot from my Grandmother's side, so am also interested in my ancestral heritage and people.
My current project is creating an instructional series of DVDs in the art of Egyptian dance, from beginning stance to advanced floorwork. Anticipated release of the first of this series is Spring, 2008. My goal is to get the TRUE Egyptian dance to the public, and in the hands of bellydance instructors, in a very easy-to-understand format. This will enable dancers to know the dance in it's true form, as opposed to the recently made-up moves the dance shows in pop culture today. My life's focus is to preserve the art of classical Egyptian dance for the general public, lest it fade forever into oblivion.
