Dance is about joy.

Many people have mistaken notions about bellydance.  Some think it is hyper-sexual and others think it is goddess-worship. I suppose that it is possible to MAKE it just about anything, but in its purest, most authentic form, it is about joy and is the cultural expression of the Egyptian (or Arab) people.

I am grateful that my life has allowed me to participate in this joy. In gratitude, I donate a portion of my earnings to the following organizations:

• Oregon Food Bank
• League of Conservation Voters
• Autism Research Institute
• The Myelin Project

Please consider donating to these worthy organizations when you are feeling grateful.
