I began dancing in January of 1999 as an activity to do with a friend.  After graduation, my friend moved to a different state but I found I had a new reason to dance…all of the new friends I had made!  Now I take Middle Eastern Dance and Ethnic Fusion. The girls I dance with are more than just friends - they are family.  Dancing gives me a creative outlet just for me. I don’t have to worry about work or family while I'm there. I just need to focus on enjoying what I’m doing!
