Belly Motions celebrated our 12 year anniversary this past Saturday, March 4, with a spectacular and vibrant theater show. "Oriental Fantasy" was a unique and unforgettable experience! Check out the fun backstage and post-show photos. 

A view into why I absolutely LOVE to teach these Belly Dance Painting Parties!!! They speak to my soul in many ways! Hope you can experience one of these classes soon! 

First blog of the year! Hands are one of the most fun and beautiful areas of our body, full of expression and personality. They symbolize all sorts of information about us.... Have you danced with your hands lately? Have you had any obstacles, any success, anything you would like to change or keep? What's your story? 

Turned on my Pandora station this morning to New Orleans Jazz and sat back remembering the wonderful city of NOLA. It was my third time visiting this past weekend, this time I went for a Belly Dance Event - Shimmy Soul featuring Sadie Marquardt and Simon Sako, organized by Karla Marie Cochran. A wonderful and homey event, it was definitely a good, little vacation for me. I stayed with some good friends, rented a car and booked my trip in the city with time to explore and re-visit my favorite places.

Hello November...!! Remembering the many fun things from October and getting ready for this November! From photoshoot's to Painting Parties and a special Sister Duet Theater performance at Caravan of Dancers IV! 

We painted September's edition titled Summer Love, and they all did SO well! It makes me really happy when I see the paintings gaining form and personality.... I'm ever grateful for these happy women taking my classes who in-turn inspire me. So next month the October Edition will be about giving thanks with  Autumn Veil. She is warm and glittery and is meant to be painted with a motive...

De-constructing to re-construct was a valuable and required lesson that you learned in art school, something that's good to do in any field of work. It's a scary feeling at first if you're not sure if you should do that to your bra or not, but once you start, it's like opening holiday or birthday presents. I become a child with butterflies in my belly! 

The article got me thinking... where was my work? How can I contribute to this wave of creativity? Join me in a small examination of where my art work is today .... Conversations from the wild feminine with the added muse of Oriental Dance from my Miami dance culture.
