I have always dreamt of making the whole world smile. Some day, I intend to write a book about all my experiences... a Happy book about all the experiences I had in life. I want to tell younger people, it does not really matter if you have had unpleasant experiences in your childhood, or faced odds. It is not the end of the road, and you can change all that if you have the will.

Bellydance is my whole life, the reason I continue dreaming. First of all I was captivated by old Arabic music and Belly Dance is the visual poem over this music.

Bellydance is my soul food. It is my passion. It expresses feminine beauty; it is nurturing, exhilarating, and sharing that special magic of the dance. It is the joy of seeing so many women blossom as the dance embraces them and transports them to their special places.

Belly dance awakens the feminine side of me which I had once forgotten when I was too deep into fitness. Belly dance saved me by pulling me back into who I truly am and I felt beautiful being a woman. I start to appreciate my body and bring balance back into my life. I believe that belly dance is a dance or a tool for woman to get in touch with their femininity and at the same time, maintain good health by dancing, the sensual way.

Belly Dance is an incredible workout, challenging muscles you didn't know existed, and much more fun than traditional exercise. Plus, you get to wear much more flattering outfits than lycra and spandex!

It is my dream to take my education one step further to achieve a Masters degree in International Studies, with a focus on Famine relief and Conflict resolution. My mother always laughs and says that i've always wanted to save the world but i truly believe that it is only we on this planet that can save each other! It is our responsibility as humans to help those who cannot help themselves and yes one person can make a difference!

Belly dance allows not just exercise but creativity, the fun and sparkle of dressing up and socialising. Dancing makes us happy! We enjoy sharing the art of belly dance with other women...

‘Try it!’ you don’t have to wear revealing clothes or bare your belly. It’s natural to feel self-conscious, but good classes and teachers will be non-judgmental, non-competitive, accepting and friendly.
