WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ME. - I love dance. I have been belly dancing for fifteen years and fell in love with tribal fusion through the medium of Rachel Brice when I was 20 years old. Seeing Samantha Emanuel perform in 2010 sealed my fate. After weekly bellydance classes in my teens, I have been a largely self taught Tribal Fusionista learning through DVD's, hard practice and the university of the noughties, YouTube. - I'm a fucking ace performer - that's my main talent. I'm hypnotising to watch, and irresistible to look at. I give great face, and even if you don't like what I am doing, you will have to watch it. - I've been teaching belly dance for the last six years. I'm a weird, funny, earthy and slightly foul-mouthed teacher with literally no mystique - I tell you everything I got. I teach technically challenging and funny classes. In my workshops, I like to teach what I am known for: stage presence, sensuality and general silliness and fun having. - I'm really passionate about finding ways to bring Tribal Fusion to a wider audience, and sneaking Tribal Fusion into cabaret and burlesque shows so people can see how great it is. - My main teachers and inspirations on my dance journey have been Suhaila Salimpour, Zoe Jakes and Samantha Emanuel. I'm counting it in a weird kind of way: for Suhaila and Samantha, I have done a lot of in person training. For Zoe, I have done some in person training, but my dance practice has been mediated by her for the last 3 years: devouring her DVD's and online workshops over and over and over. You know that thing where hipsters say stuff like "Taylor Swift is my spirit animal?" That's how I feel about Zoe. - I have trained with: Suhaila Salimpour, Samantha Emanuel, Zoe Jakes, Kami Liddle, Anasma, Rachel Brice, Ashley Lopez, Carolena Nerricio, Mardi Love and Deb Rubin. I have also trained with, to a lesser extent, Sharon Kihara, Jill Parker, Amy Sigil, Alexis Southall, Jaydee Amrita Copperfield, Darkstar, Catherine Taylor, Emma Chapman.
