Life is one big dance with every turn things change one must believe always for the higher good

About Me

I am a professional oriental dancer (Belly Dancer) and teacher. One of my favorite things about dance is teaching dance. The best thing about oriental dance with women is it makes them smile from the inside out. There is something about the rhythm and movement that feeds their souls. I love to see women grow into beautiful dancers and men as well. I am teaching at Sinclair community college it has one of the most beautiful dance studios in Dayton. It has a beautiful wooden spring floors beautiful and skylights. The energy there is unbelievable. It’s great for your first belly dance lesson. I also teach in other locations outside of Sinclair you can check my website for times and locations www.caravanworkshops.com. One of my favorite things is to teach are workshops. I get to meet some of the most lovely women and at the same time I get to learn a few new things also. It’s always a wonderful experience. Performances is another wonderful part about being a dancer. We get to smile and share a big part of our soul and in return we get your smiles and joy. My favorite thing as a performer is to make children smile and people dance. That makes all of the years of hard work worthwhile. Caravanworkshops is my small company that promotes this fantastic ancient art in the Dayton Ohio area. Also in the Indianapolis area along with Faten Munger. For more information on workshops you can go to my website. (wwww.caravanworkshops.com)Caravanworkshops also does a charity every year under the name of Caravan of Hope it has raised thousands of dollars for charitable organizations. I love to dance for a good cause. Keep in mind I can never do these huge events by myself I have wonderful group of friends that I’ve found through dance, that help me.I’m also one of the artistic directors for Sandstorm Dance Company we do stage productions in the Ohio area celebrating the wonderful art of oriental dance and its music. I’m proud to say we’ve had three sold-out shows at the Schuster Center in Dayton Ohio. We have brought in wonderful artist such as Artemis, John Bilesikjian, Faten Munger and many other outstanding performers. we also performed a production of a thousand one nights at the Freedom Theatre in Cincinnati and at the Sorg Opera House in Middletown Ohio.As you can see I a very busy person welcome to my space. Blessings
