Dear Diary…I mean, Hi!

I’ve been meaning to start this blog forever, and like most things involving glitter, ideas, and good intentions—it’s finally happening, slightly late but very sparkly.

If you’ve danced with me, you already know my brain is a swirl of movement metaphors, life lessons, and questionable snack choices. So here’s where I unpack it all: bellydance thoughts, mindset rambles, “oops” moments that turned into breakthroughs, and the occasional reminder that yes, you can be graceful and chaotic at the same time.

Whether you’re part of of my amazing students in McKinney Bellydance, a fellow shimmy addict (of ANY level), or just here for the vibes—I’m glad you’re reading. Let’s be weird (and become wiser) together.

Or you can start a bet to see if I can really keep this whole blog concept going FINALLY… :D

Psst! I’d love to know if you have burning dance questions or topics you’d like to see me chat about in my blog!
