About Me

So why all the ethnic stuff? Well it's cool. Mostly though I have been discriminated against since a very early age, so I set off on a quest of acceptance and tolerance. The only people I seemed to get it from were people not from America. And when you hang out with different cultures long enough you notice their rituals, clothes, music, food, English, and philosophy on life. I am probably one of the few Americans who is sad when someone from a different culture trades in their national dress for jeans. But I like flowy stuff too. So I guess I'm sort of biased. I love all dance. I learned Japanese dance from the wonderfully talented Fumiko Howsman and fell in love with all Japanese culture. I totally love anime and its themes. I learned African dance, Modern dance, musical theatre dance and ballet in college. Of course Martha Graham was my idol because she learned dance later in life. And of course growing up in the 80's I've been dancing hip hop all of my life. I now just focus on bellydance. I blend everything I've learned over the past 20 years and just do it. Denise my old college dance teacher said this of dance "Sex doesn't come close to the feeling I get while dancing" She is my hero, and one of the most passionate dancers I have ever seen and the reason why I dance today. fantasy layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com MyHotComments
