Dance is a BIG part of my life. I am a member of a dance troupe, Whiplash (formerly known as Alachwat, meaning sisters) for the past 3 years. We are a tribal, middle eastern fusion belly dancing troupe. Dance fills several roles in my life such as, socializing with a group of women that are like sisters to me, self esteem, making spectators smile watching us perform, stress relieving and so much more. I look forward to our practice time, talking, dancing, laughing and yes even sadness for events that happen in each others lives. It is challenging and rewarding to learn new movements and choreography. We love to discover new music to dance to. My instructor, Penni Alzayer is the most fascinating person I have ever met. She has lived all over the world and shares her experiences and knowledge with us. It is not only fun to dance but the costumes are always fascinating. I have used several of our photos during this course as examples. As you can see dance is a big part of my life.
I have included a link to a video of one of our routines we performed at the Apple Festival in 2010.
We just performed at the Chillicothe Ghost Walk in our Victorian Steampunk Costumes.
