Aepril is amazing! Creative and expressive beyond words! She is also a fantastic and kind person on top of it all!
September 21, 2007
Lady Aepril is indeed an enigma...onstage, she is a fierce priestess, vehement in the stories she conveys.
Offstage, she is an eloquent swan, graceful, dark, and languidly beautiful.
She is soft-spoken and sure-footed.
She is a shamaness, and a dreamer.
Onstage, she seems a force of nature, of stage, she frolicks in it.
She is all that rolled into one....she is Beautiful :)

Pretentious?
Not from what I have seen.
A beautiful dancer and a patient teacher.
I would love to hear your music someday!

Absolutely divine in many aspects and fantastic to work with. Looking forward to future projects.

about me
I am a musician. Music is what I live for--both creating it and dancing to it. My band, AEPRIL SCHAILE AND THE JUDGEMENT, has been described variously as "death folk" "classical doom" "fiery dirges/ art rock". I play piano, and I sing and rant and rave about night goddesses, oceanic surrender, survivorship, death, sex and resurrection...Visit us at www.aeprilschaile.com or www.myspace.com/aeprilschaile
I am a bellydancer, and my work tends toward the darker, the theatrical, the shamanistic. I am also a teacher of Bellydance--classes and workshops.
I moderate Raks Gothique New England: tribes.tribe.net/raksgothiquene
I direct Exquisite Corpse.
www.myspace.com/exquisitec...ebellydance
I'm an astrologer and tarot reader.
I am extremely right brained. I favor fiction over non-fiction, poetic truth over "facts".
I have the astrological glyph for Pluto inked over my heart.
I am part Raven, as I like to collect all sorts of interesting ideas, words, shiny things, odd people, and other gee-gaws, to put together to create my life/work/nest. I am easily distracted from boring things; I adapt. I can fly, and I love experiments.
I am part Wolf. I really like open spaces, and I like to move freely. I am comfortable in shadows. I am a Hunter, but an easy scavenge from the trash often does the trick, too. :)
I am part Phoenix. I have died and been reborn, more than once. Fire.
I am also part Swan, which means that I was an Ugly Duckling once upon a time. I know that sometimes it takes while to find ones rightful family. Beauty comes in so many forms. Yes.

www.dancegardenla.com/registration.html
Medusa, Kali, Hecate, Circe, Persephone, Lilith: goddeses and mythical archetypes; the "witchy" energy in us all, the ability to shape-shift, to hex and to heal. Using moving meditation and a combination of improvisation and choreography, we will evoke the Dark Feminine within us to speak through the serpentine sorcery of bellydance. You will come away with a fresh sense of authenticity, power and grace in your dance, connecting to ancient/ timeless energies and becoming adept at casting any audience under your spell.
Private lessons in the LA area also available Oct 17 through Oct 25.
