about me
I am a bellydancer, an aikidoka, and used to be a science teacher. I have obsessions...and they are bellydancing and aikido...not necessarily science or teaching (they pay the bills...sometimes).

See our website www.phoenixfirebellydance.com for more details.
And if you're interested in what our students look like - here is their first tribal improv performance from this past Saturday!

...can you PLEASE explain this to me in a way that would actually make sense?
When you were a child...how did you feel about adults who didn't like you? What is the reason that you don't like kids? Is it the way they act? Did you ever act like a child? Or were you an adult when you were born...
Instead of actively disliking children...maybe you should think about disliking the people who influence the children to act the way you don't like. Because children are amazing little creatures wh... read more

There are several reasons why I didn't jump right away into buying tix to a certain gathering this year. And I almost went back on my decision for the sake of my love - thinking he might benefit from us going. But now I realize that I made the right decision.

Last year I decided not to attend - although I was suppose to be teaching at it - because of the newbies who have recently become involved in the gathering. People who had snide comments comparing teaching/performing bellydance to t... read more

Hi all!
Due to the high demand for a drop-in class at Dancing Ember Studio, I've decided to implement a "Drop-in Drills" class on Fridays from 6:30-7:30 PM beginning a week from today (May 9th).
This class will be an hour long class of bellydance drills for all levels - newbie to advanced dancer. We all need a reason to drill each day, and it's always more fun to drill with others!
Each week we'll drill a variety of bellydance movements and combinations. There will not be choreography in... read more

My Testimonials

November 15, 2007
How fortunate am I, to have the one and only Phoenix so close by so that I can learn tribal from a true goddess of dance. Her laughter tinkles in the air leaving one feel that they've been showered with eye candy, or fairy dust, or goddess shimmies. This woman knows her stuff and is a sheer delight to all around her. Love you Phoenix!

What a beautiful spirit--and she rules with the Isis wings! Bringing innovative, dark and theatrical bellydance to the scene. Mother of Logan, Imbolc child of charm. I hope to work with Phoenix sometime soon!

We were beseiging a city... Paris, I think, or maybe it was Orleans that week (we beseiged a lot of cities together back in those days). Anyway, she personally set fire to the monastery outside the city walls, and laughed while the lead roof melted away and the columns collapsed. The people inside called her Cheryl the Terror after that. When we finally took the town, she and I and our partners at the time found a nice little inn; we drank most of their wine and ate most of their cheese. She told the funniest stories.
