My Testimonials

What can I say about this amazing goddess?
I was lucky enough to have Jessica at my first bellydance teacher about three years ago and have to say that it was one of the best things to ever happen to me.
Jess is a wonderful teacher, mesmerizing dancer and all around beautiful person.
Now if only I could talk her into leaving her husband for me ;)
Love you Jess

Jess needs her own cheering section to follow her wherever she goes and let me tell you why. This woman is amazingly dedicated to belly dancing, the belly dance community, and spreading knowledge about our ancient dance. She is out there promoting, supporting, hosting, performing, and who knows what else while still working and making time for her husband. Jess is also strong of heart and personality-- she easily makes friends who are loyal to her because she is such an honest and caring person. I love to watch her dance and I especially enjoy learning how we differ in our approach to choreography. Every day is a joy with Jess.

An amazing Goddess of a dancer, and a joy to be around. Fun, deep, and passionate...a woman you would feel blessed to have in your life.

Two words: Absolutely Adorable!

Jess is a wonderful human being, an amazing and gracefully gifted dancer, and the best damn hostess with the mostest around!
She makes being at the Kismet haflas worth it everytime.
Oh and she's really crafty-I mean, if you didn't see her perform in that FABULOUS costume at the last hafla, then you need to look up the pics!!!

I just adore her!!!!

What can I say about Jess that hasn't already been shared? Okay, what CLEAN things can I say...? LOL

Having spent the past few years toiling over Kismet issues, working on dance projects, and sharing pie therapy when needed, I've gotten to know this ball of energy masquerading as a human being. Someone else here said Jess must have been a sprite in another life...well, I certainly think she's got one foot firmly planted in fairyland at all times. And we all need a bit of magic in our lives, right? :)

She's a lovely, passionate dancer and dance enthusiast. Her hard work on both fronts has certainly paid off for our community. I can't wait to see what she'll do next! :)

about me
I'm more than a bit ditzy. I love to dance, middle eastern or any other kind. I have co-founded Kismet, a group who provides an open venue for dance performers. I love movies that are dumb enough that I feel smart and I have a strange obsession for passionate, strong, bitchy women. I'm married to a fabulous man, who spoils me rotten and is very easy on the eyes. I have a cat whom I get lots of purr therapy from. I love music, all types. I'm a light hearted pagan, who loves to laugh at herself and with the universe. ***Free the West Memphis 3** www.wm3.org/

Nici, my mom, needs to find a home for Scarlett, her orange/white Maine coon kitty. The place where my mom is going to move to in Los Angeles can't have cats ( the owner is allergic). If you can help me find a home for her, I'd be greatful. Scarlett is a good kitty and would be ok in a multi kitty home or with a dog, but much happier Queen of her own realm. She is de-clawed and a love. She is a BIG CAT, please research a bit about the breed if you are interested, just so you know what you are... read more

I've been asked if I think Belly Dance has a or is a "culture"...
I looked up culture on Wikipedia and found "generally refers to patterns of human activity and the symbolic structures that give such activity significance."

So I'm thinking my self in circles...What is your take... is there an American Belly Dance Culture?

So today I found myself all up in arms and judgmental and I went to find just the right quote just to make my point and put people in their place....

and found myself put in my place instead. The old adage that if you are pointing a finger at someone, it's pointing at you as well.
