hi ladies,
looks like i'll be headed across the pond to come and share what i've got with ya!
i'm super excited, i had such a great time teaching and performing in the UK this past spring- i may have met some of you along the way, please do say hi here...

For those of you who don't know me, i'd like to introduce my self.

I began my belly dance studies with an oriental/folkloric teacher, i then moved home to San Francisco and started taking with Jill Parker and Ultra Gypsy, i was asked to perform and start working with the company early on and so i dedicated myself fully to tribal and what would over the course of a few years become tribal fusion.

I spent the last 3 of my years with UG serving as co-director, helping to shape the theatrical vision, dynamic choreography, and innovative costuming that makes Ultra Gypsy the tour de force that it is! i have in the last year left ultra gypsy to further develop my personal dance experiance, and have helped to launch the Barbary Coast Shakedown, a colaboration of dancers that has included Mira Betz, Liz Strong(newest member of the tribal BDSS girls-way to go liz!), Susan Frankovich, Frederique, and Jill Parker. exciting projects, i tell ya!

during my 8 years with Ultra Gypsy i have had the honor to share the stage and collaborate with Rachel Brice, Sharon Kihara, Zoe Jakes, and Heather Stants. I currently keep my studies up with Mira Betz, Suhalia, contemporary dance, yoga, and pilates.
