I have always loved "Dance". There was something about the way dancers moved and breathed with the music that I couldn't quite get enough of. Unfortunately I got stuck with training in music for most of my life, not dance. The only form of exposure to dance I had was at group dance classes in elementary school. It was a weekly dance class, only a required part of school curriculum. For most of the 6 years, the weekly classes consisted of potpouri of difference dances, anything from traditional Korean dance to modern dance steps.

Even that stopped after elementary school. I still loved watching all dance forms...ballet, Flamenco, jazz, and but I never thought it was something I could do. What really drew me into the dance world was something altogether unexpected.

Perhaps no one would believe me when I say I got back into dancing because I fell in love with it all over again at a Goth club. This is an honest truth. The slow sensual rhythms and the drums...I couldn't get enough of it. I started with Belly Dancing. It seemed the most likely choice given the music I liked. Then Flamenco and Korean Dance.

One day I was getting used to be idea of moving my body again and next...I was in costumes.
It is strange how everything happened so suddenly...
Now dance has become an integral part of my life. Through dancing I have been able to feel deeper, communicate further and perhaps be more truthful to myself.
