48 years old, working as a surgical nurse to support my expensive taste! Otherwise I would probably be teaching Tribal everyday instead of 3 days a week. Been dancing for 13+ years, was original founding member of Tribal Feat. Now I have a new Fusion troupe, Tsingani, and a student troupe, Sacred Sole .

It's all about me....

I buried my father on Thursday. He was the last of the "family". I was told by a dear friend that I needed 12 hugs....I got that and then some. I can't believe how easy it is to categorize people. I thought I could count on 1 hand the number of friends I had. I was so wrong. I found out at Tribal Caravan and all the days since I got the news just who my friends are, and most of them are all the wonderful people that I have met in the Belly Dance community. Everyone.... even people I thought d... read more

Ok, so I tried to stay away but was sadly unsucessful. I just missed staying on top of everything and seeing all the beautiful faces! And anyway, my husband is back in school now and I start the gym in the first week in Sept. with my dance partner Bonnie. So I feel good about it.
Miss me? lol....

Ok, so as most of you can figure out, I don't do blogs. Gives me a weird feeling of "talking to the walls".

Anyway, I am posting this blog in case anyone wonders where I have gone.
I have been sooooo extremely busy with "life" lately ie...work (which I hate), classes (which I love), more work (grrr...) and of course the goal of putting on an event such as Summer of Love. This goal has been a long time coming. I am so proud that I finally accomplished a goal!!! If you only knew how good t... read more

Ok, so my sweet friend Elizabeth tagged me, and for the life of me I don't think there is anything I can say that most don'y already know. My life is an open book. Well, here goes...
1. I used to be an Interior Designer. Always wanted to be one since I can remember. No one ever told me that you also had to be a sales person. Poop... I was also a bartender. That was fun.
2. I never went to the same school for more than 1 year until high school. My dad was always looking for his "spot". I act... read more

My Testimonials

October 12, 2007
Teresa is a fabulous instructor. She is grace & beautity in motion when she dances, she inspires us, motivates us, delight us. She gives women the confidence to be comfortable with themselves and to look beyond their body structure and find their dance that's in them. What I love most about her is the look on her face when she watches her students past & present dance. She beams a smile from ear to ear that is undescribable. If she looked any prouder, she would burst. You have enriched my life beyond words. Not only are you a great instructor, but a priceless friend.

My daughters, Cara and Christi, and I were Teresa's guests last night for Tribal class and met her lovely students. Teresa, your arms and hands are magical, I was mesmerized with your graceful hand work. Fluid and warm. You are an exceptional dancer and thankyou for your time and generosity in giving me much needed tips on how to stabilize and protect my lower back. I am looking forward to seeing Tsingani and Sacred Skin performances, the class was welcoming and relaxed and pure fun. I am so happy you let us dance with you. ( and I know you are extremely busy getting ready for performances) Namaste, Vic

ok well all the other testimonials will tell you what an awesome teacher, dancer, etc she is. its still not enough; teresa is a mentor. she is inspiring, supportive, and a breath of fresh air. she has a beautiful soul and a infecting smile. this woman has become a role model for me. at times she's my mom, at times she's my coach, but mostly she's a good friend to talk to and i feel like i could go to her with anything that was on my mind.

and ya, she's the most graceful dancer i've ever seen.

Teresa epitemizes what is best in American Tribal! She is not only a talented, beautiful dancer and an excellent teacher, but also a caring and generous woman. Her creativity, encouragement and constructive, patient instruction make each dance session a joyful experience! It is truly wonderful to be a member of her troupe!

I bow to Teresa! I'm so appreciative to have her as a friend and teacher! She is a terrifically talented beautiful woman! She is a wonderful ATS teacher. Graciously and generously giving of her time and talent (as well as pocket book!). Teresa is patient, supportive and non-judgemental; always having a kind word for anyone struggling with self-doubts. She has a excellent 'eye' that enables her to pinpoint a 'problem' a student dancer may be having and assisting them to become a better dancer.
Teresa's skill and grace as a bellydancer are captivating; she captures your eye and mezmerizes you! Her dedication and passion for ATS are inspiring! She has created innovative new dance steps that have added another dimension to ATS. Teresa is creative in so many other areas as well - interior design, stain glass, costume design. I have always admired her and am so honored to be included in Teresa's dance troupe!
She is someone very special!!
