Seven years ago I signed up for a Belly Dance class at a local park district - just to try something new and see what Belly Dancing was all about. Well I got hooked on it form the first class and now it's a full time job/hobby of mine.I currently teach classes in Algonquin & Dundee as well as weekly semi-private lessons in Glenview. I'm also one of the featured dancers at Athar Mediterranean Restaurant in Elmhurst. They have a dancer there every Friday night at 8:00& 9:00pm. So come out for some good food and some great dancing.I'm a member of two Belly Dance troupes - The Mystic Rose Dancers & Melantha Azhaar. The Mystic Rose Dancers are directed by DonnaDiva and is based out of Roselle. We perform at many local festivals, as well as staged shows, haflas and showcase events. We host a very successful annual Breast Cancer benefit show raising money for the Susan G Komen Foundation.Melantha Azhaar is a Belly Dance fusion troupe that spun out from The Mystic Rose Dancers. It's three members are myself, Sahira and Margeurite. We wanted to branch out from our traditional caberet belly dance roots and put together some dances to some non-traditional western songs, and just have fun with the music and our dancing. We just started this project but I look forward to seeing where it takes us in the future.My second love is Scuba Diving. I've been diving for about six years and I've gottten into underwater videography. I did try underwater still photography (and took second place in a yearly photo contest) but I prefer videography. I love capturing all of the oceans creatures in action. It's amazing what you see down there and to capture their movements and lives is what it's all about for me.
