about me
Professional Dreamer. Free spirited, gypsified philosopher and star-gazer, ambitious artist dancer, choreographer, vendor and creator of interesting art, jewelry, theater (or, at least I hope it's interesting). Here for the bigger picture, interested in the creativity of others, bringing people together in celebration, and the whole spiritual, experimental, insane bubble called Life.
I am currently the director of one dance company, and transitioning to several other art businesses that are here for just that--busy-ness.....Dedicated to the darker, and lighter dreams of most thinking carbon light forms in New York City and beyond. ChoveXani dance and theater company was the first to bring gothic bellydance venues to New York, in the form of Urban Oasis Dance, then Shadows of the Harem. Our goal is to create unique and unorthodox ways of viewing ethnic dance, with a slightly dark twist.....which culminated in three very successful years of Night of 1000 Goddesses 2006/07/08.
I am also moving toward a more quiet fine arts realm with a Wild At Heart series of Artworks (perhaps to be announced soon). The idea is to connect on a more kind, conscious and happy level with other people...join me on my little mis-adventures, won't you?

Artist, innovator, animal lover, hostess, organizer, troupe leader, gothique/experimental diva, goddess devotee---this woman does it all! It is a great honor to meet and work with Zan--I am thrilled to know her!

Zan is one of my inspirations. She shows me the possibilities that are there in dance if you just open up your creative centers and let fly with the imagination. Oh yeah, combine with that lotsa hard work, blood, sweat and maybe tears. But it's all worth it. Look at what she has done in the NYC community and In turn those beyond. I love ya, Zan!

Beautiful Zan! Her dedication and enthusiasm to the art of experimental and fusion bellydance has brought new energy to the East Coast scene. She and her troupe hold great events! She is also a vision when she dances with her double veils, as well as with Chovexani. All hail Zan!

The woman is on fire. If there's a venue, she's going to burn that sucker down!

Zan likes beets.
Though we haven’t yet met (hopefully some day), Zan is a witty, creative, innovative, and organized person, who (from all reports) throws an amazing dance party/evening of entertainment. Plus, she puts up with my sarcasm!
It’s my hope that we can collaborate on some project of some sort some day.
Did I mention that Zan likes beets?

Hey everyone!
I know summer is a busy time, and I wanted to do the community spirit thing by reposting several VERY different but VERY
interesting events and informational things by some of our friends. Who knows, maybe some of these might bring inspiration into your life??
One of the 1000 Goddesses (and her partner-in-crime, who happens to be the lone male of the 1000 Goddess show) are doing their own wonderfully unprecedented theatrical bellydance show:
