"I started my love affair with Middle
Eastern dance after I had my first child. I was looking for a
physical artistic outlet to keep my sanity. Bellydance wiggled its
way into my heart. I find Bellydance an empowering, passionate and
sacred form of expression. I love guiding women back to their feminine roots, to feel confident and secure in their bodies as well as truly appreciating the strength and beauty in other women. This creates a very open, safe and joyful experience and allows us to feel the strength of Middle Eastern movement from deep within.
"I cherish the women I teach and celebrate their diversity. I encourage positive self-body image and nurture a supportive and caring environment. My dance troupe, Invoketress Dance Theatre, literally embodies this philosophy, embracing members of all ages and of all body types, from the slinky slim to the bold and brazen."
