about me
Hi all...I am releasing an Instructional DVD in the spring of 2008 - Isis Wings with Phoenix. We are in the process of filming and editing now. This has been an idea in the works and requested by a number of people who have seen my winged performances and/or taken my wing workshops....so I am excited to actually put it on DVD. If you are interested in a copy or details - please contact me.

Belly Dance touched my life in 1997. A North Carolina native, I now live and perform in the Denver area. My style is a mixture - mostly Egyptian, Turkish, and Tribal Fusion. While I love traditional belly dancing, I really enjoy experimenting and taking the dance down different avenues. I teach - my teaching style includes technique, strength building, and fun! This dance is for all - all ages, walks of life, and body types....I see no limits and enjoying seeing dancers grow in their abilities, technique, and confidence (most important).

I am a member of the band - Yallah!. As a member of Yallah!, we host haflas on a regular basis. The idea behind the haflas is a non-competitive and supportive environment for dancers and drummers to come together. I am a member of The Sultry Emberz (www.sultryemberz.com) - with four of my closest friends and sisters in dance.

I hope to never stop learning and creating.

Phoenix is a class act all the way! She is not only and amazing dancer and a beautiful woman, she puts together some really fabulous events that will bring out the dancer in anyone. The D Note hafla was such a good time! I enjoyed all the dancers and the music was HOT! Definitely can't wait until the next time..............Thanks for sharing your talent with all of us!

Other than the fact that you are a gorgeous lady, and the fact that you are a beautiful dancer, I just absolutely luv the fact that you are such an awesome, straight-forward individual and I'm really glad I've gotten to know you..

Re: "Tuck your pelvis, tuck your pelvis, tuck your pelvis" (in Bellydance Health, Fitness, and Anatomy) I usually tell my students to pretend they have a tail off of the tail bone and it is pointed to the floor (not forward or back - just down). I explain to them to use the lower abs and not the gluts - in fact I have them check to make sure the gl... read more

Re: Oh boy, murky areas... (in The Biz of Belly Dance) I agree with many of the comments here....

I would ask to get paid and just try to be smooth about the fact that you understand that other performers are being paid. I have talked to a lot of dancers who do now realize that free gigs often bri... read more

Re: Oh boy, murky areas... (in The Biz of Belly Dance) I have always been told by my account that the 'donation' of a gig is really just any expenses out such as gas and such. I am just wondering how exactly others are filing this as a donation. Can you state what form and where you file it? I rea... read more
