Artemis

Artemis has been dancing, teaching and researching dance history in the United States and abroad for her entire adult life.  Artemis is of Greek and Turkish descent.  She fuses her love of these cultures with strong academic knowledge and excellent dance technique.  She brings her spirited and articulate technique to workshops which include information on the history and cultures that generate the dances she teaches.  She believes that we can all use art to build bridges across cultures.

Artemis has contributed to many publications.  Extensive travel to 33 countries and intensive research into the idioms of the East, women's issues, psychology, ancient history, oriental dance, Romany (Gypsy) dance and dance ethnology have yielded many manuscripts and articles.

Artemis teaches regular classes, private lessons, workshops on the dance form commonly referred to as "Belly Dance" which, after 35 years of experience, she can cover from A to Z.  She is best known for her specialized workshops on the Turkish Oriental and Turkish Romany dance genres.  Artemis is constantly creating new workshops and she is presenting a series of workshops of all new Turkish material.
