This site is dedicated to the beautiful art of ethnic dance. I have been involved in ethnic dance since the '70's as a performer, instructor, troupe director, workshop promoter and supporter. Various forms of dance  included on this site are Raks Sharki (Middle Eastern), Flamenco, and Central Asian.

I am currently not teaching any ongoing classes but am still willing to offer private or semi-private classes, coaching and presentations in the field of dances of the Middle and Near East, North Africa and Spain.

“Beside the fire, as the wood burn black

A laughing dancer in the veils of light

            Whose dance transforms the darkness to gold”
