I have been bellydancing since 1997 when I discovered a small paper clipping in a local paper. I knew in 10 minutes I had finally found what I had been looking for. My tribal journey began in 2000 when I relocated to Arizona and began dancing under the instruction of Heidi Alexander(domba), boy if I knew then what I know now I would have stayed longer. During my time in the States I began searching out other teachers and events to help broaden my dance knowledge. I have studied under the entire domba team, Terri Hardin (troupe salamat) Paulette Res denis(Gypsy caravan) Wendy Marlatt , Geneva bybee, I have also been fortunate to attend workshops with Carolena (FCBD)Kajjira (Black sheep) Suhaila samilipour(Bal anat) and more recently I have been able to attend a workshop under the guidance of Heather Stants, Rachel Lazarus Soto, Deirdre MacDonald, Ayse Cermani and Elizabeth Souza (sister hood dance collective).
