About Me

found this plain layout at HOT FreeLayouts.com :: MyHotCommentsI'm a total dork! But you already knew that (or suspected). I love to dance! Bellydance is my current favorite. I take from the fabulous and graceful teacher/performer, YEMAYA and also the fiery teacher/performer Claudia! I took salsa lessons for 6 months and have taken belly dancing for 4 years now. Good old fashioned booty shaking is always fun. And I took a tango class once.I live in Portland! Love it! The people here are so full of PASSION and CONVICTION, it's amazing. I'm glad I chose this place to thrive in my twenties...hopefully thirties, forties, fifties...I love meeting interesting people, so if you like what you see, message me!
