About Me

I am a professional dancer with a varied background in Middle Eastern, North African and Turkish dance, Bharatanataym, Yoga and Tai Chi. In addition to being a Certified Teacher of Dancemeditation; I am also a level III Reiki practitioner. Owner and co-founder of BayouShimmy dance studio in Baton Rouge, LA I offer classes in Dancemeditation, Bellydance and general fitness. I teach, guided by a desire to make beautiful, healing movement possible for everyone. By cultivating constant, subtle awareness, Dancemeditation reaches in and wakes our sleeping inner Beauty. I bring these dynamic principals to my teaching. I love teaching. When I whirl I feel like I've come home. When I dance I feel as though the heavens are sprinkling me with pixie dust. I'm goofy as heck and can't escape it. I love big, laugh loudly, screw up monumentally and manage to learn from most of my mistakes. I wish I was an untouchable goddess in an ivory tower, but then I get dirt under my fingernails. I love people, but hate the human race - misanthropic with a huge touch of empathy. I am a fire elemental trapped in a human body in mad love with an intense tall red-headed man re-incarnated from many warriors.

What's the earliest you've gotten up to watch cartoons and what did you see?

I used to get up every Saturday morning about 5 AM to watch cartoons - I just didn't want to miss anything. Mind you, for a good portion of this time I was still watching the color tests that used to be aired when the networks went 'to bed'. That doesn't happen anymore, but I used to fall asleep in front of the television waiting for the color test to go away before cartoons would come on!
