" I dance from my heart and soul...Good days , bad days , hard times ,good times or drowning in emotional chaos dance always get me through and pushes me to improve myself as a dancer , instructor , mother , and wife.....I have fallen flat on my face , embarrassed myself , felt like giving up so many times , but for some reason the passion of the dance burns in me , sometimes only an ember glows , but it is there waiting for the moment to ignite that raging fire inside of me once again . Dance is a journey , a journey of the inner self , the heart  and the soul growing as I travel step by step ....My journey has just begun on so many levels . Join me on this amazing ride through dance !! "

My Bio

* * * * * * * * * *

I started my Belly Dance career as an Oriental dancer . My first instructor was trained by the legendary Bert Balladine and Sula . I was in a performance Troupe and a featured restaurant dancer for many years through out the San Francisco Bay Area . 

I grew restless and wanted more , more from my dance , more from myself. Being from San Francisco nicknamed ' Belly Dance Mecca ' my options were limitless . So many amazing instructors to choose from ! I danced around a bit expanding my dance knowledge and learning from different instructors until I finally found my home with FatChanceBellyDance®. I began training vigorously and was totally in love with ATS® . I was still dancing Oriental but after 3 years of both ATS® and Oriental I decided to step away from Oriental and dedicate myself 100% to ATS® .

I worked hard , danced hard and made way through years of training , many tears and lots of frustration with myself , but I stuck with it and pushed myself further. I performed with the student troupe ,was invited to dance with the main troupe , founded a master troupe and had my eye on being a part of the main troupe , my goal , my dream when my life suddenly changed in an instant with the death of my Oma that effected me very deeply . I up and moved to Germany to be with the man I loved leaving my old life , my old dreams behind making way for new dreams and a new life . 

What I bring with me in my chosen home of Germany is all my knowledge from my years of dedication to ATS® , to teach and pass on how I learned it , directly at the school in San Francisco . Small details that can only be captured by years of study and practice, details not seen on DVD's or learned from a few random workshops, only things that can be learned while being there , living it , submerged in it , being involved with the dance , with the school , with all the instructors . I bring that knowledge with me , to teach , to share. 

I was the First certified FatChanceBellyDance® instructor here in Germany teaching ATS® in its original format , how I learned it in San Francisco. 

See the difference first hand...! I am available for Workshops, performances , private training and troupe coaching . Come see a difference in yourself and your dance by learning with a native San Francisco dancer trained directly at FatChanceBellyDance®.....!!!
