My Testimonials

December 1, 2008
I've taken several workshops with Tempest and I keep coming back for more. She is an imaginative and entertaining teacher whose workshops are both educational and entertaining, and she's excellent at coaxing even the most self-conscious participants to come out of their shells and express themselves through dance. In a world of too-serious belly dance divas, her humor and humility are a breath of fresh air.

If all the styles of belly dance could pick just one dancer to represent them. Tempest I give you the title: Queen of Gothic Belly Dance!

Tempest Rules my Universe! What can I say about a friend of the SQuishy, AKA Smushington-poo-pie.Her presence as a dancer and Creatrix is deeply missed here in CA.
Tempest is a part of the intensely creative Gemini artistic group that lies just under the surface of the Belly dance scene. and she is a person with much integrity and remains open to share her talents with others

I will stick to my orginal thoughts to and about her...

"well... don't know you from adam... and I've never see you dance in person, which is a damn crying shame. ... but every time you write a little blog and post pictures you always move me.

I think you are such an amazing dancer and you inspire me tremendously not just technically but to be able to emote the soul as well as you do. Stunning and emotional all at the same time, in force and on a soft side and I think that's amazing. "

I have since met her and seen her dance... and I can say she is all those things and more. Truly a blessing and an inspiration and long after she has moved on to bigger better things away from me, I will remember her and what an influence she has been and will be.

about me
I like shiny things. Geminis supposedly have a weakness for excessive adornment. I say, what's excessive really?

All along the tour, folks have been asking me if there would be any shirts left and if I was printing more?

The good news is that I do have a small handful of shirts left - bad news is the edition is sold out and I'm not printing any more - so this is it!

There are NO spaghetti tanks left!

But I do have ladies fitted tee's in S, M, L, and XL (only one of each of L and XL, 2-3 each of the S and M)

and I have men's shirts in M and L. And that's it!

Front of shirts look like: ht... read more

Both are things that are on the horizon ;) We've been on the road now since May 1st, and the end of the Durga Tour draws near!

June 13th - Saturday is Buffalo, NY - which is our ONLY NY stop - and features 3 workshops with myself, Asharah, and Tim Rayborn, and a salon show in the evening! Planning some specia... read more

An open letter to the Buffalo Bellydance Community

It has come to my attention that misinformation has been spread regarding the Durga Tour stop in Buffalo on June 13th , unjustly impacting the event and I feel the best way to deal with it at this time is to take the matter to the larger community and clear the air. I ask you to take a few moments to read the following to help clear any misunderstandings.

The Buffalo Durga Tour stop will take place on June 13th at The Bellydance Acade... read more

Well, we successfully exited NJ with most of our stuff aboard and made it up to RI. Minus a few issues and frustrations, I think I would have to chalk this up as our easiest/least stressful move yet. Much thanks to the friends who helped us load in NJ and unload in RI!

Heading back down to NJ to spend the week at my parents working on stock before Spring Caravan, and the official start of the Durga Tour.

Speaking of which, today is the last day to pre-order your Durga Tour merch! ht... read more
