About Me

I am an SLP and belly dancer/instructor/performer in the recovering New Orleans area. Definitely an 'embrace life' sort, with an appreciation for humor. My cheesy catch phrases: "Smooches!" "And...scene." Visit my site www.dancingjewel.com for dance classes, performance, and booking info.
