Belly dance

Why is this here? Because writing feeds my dance and dancing feeds my writing. And without belly dance, I wouldn’t be able to do much at all — it helped me heal after three car accidents—and I’m currently healing from a fourth.

Back in the day, I danced with Amelia Moore‘s The Circle and the goth rock band Legion Within before taking a break from performing. I’ve recently stepped back onto the stage and am currently working on a few dance-inspired novels with a supernatural edge.

I’m taking time off from performing to heal. Hoping to update my performance schedule soon.

There are a number of tremendous teachers in the Seattle area. I’m happy to direct you towards a wide variety of learning opportunities and share news about upcoming workshops and shows. If you’d like to study with me, I teach a select number of students at 7pm on Monday and Wednesday nights in North Seattle. Some afternoon classes are also available, depending on your skill level.
