Well behaved women seldom make history.

About Me


GO TO THE NEW WEBSITE!!!!
This is what I do. I am a professional belly dancer. I'm an Arizona Belly Dancer among belly dancers in Arizona. It's awesome. (how many times can I gratuitously say "Arizona"?) Scottsdale is beautiful. The Arizona weather is the bomb and I love belly dancing here. I've been a dancer my whole life. Starting as a dancer in Vegas at Bally's Jubilee at 17 and then going on to be a magician's assitant and dancer touring the world doing what I love to do. Lived in Japan, the Caribbean, Brazil and so many other places. Travel is a still a heavy part of my career and I perform in many cities. I specialize in weddings, parties, corporate events and any other celebration that a bellydancer would be perfect for.
Other than that, I cook (and cook WELL), read, sew (many of my own costumes), laugh really loud, don't do well with bad days (so I've resolved to stop having them), have an unwaivering faith that mermaids, unicorns and honest men DO actually exist (despite my ever having encountered one), and enjoy hanging out with a few really spectacular people in my life and they are angels.

My Interests

DANCING, reading, eating, watching funny shit on TV, music, culture, quantum physics, anthropology, yoga, costume making, sewing, working out, complaining about politics ;-), trying to figure out what dreams mean, herbal medicine, studying men's behavior (it's a short class) and laughing. Laughter is the best medicine.
