Props fo' my Peeps!
So I posted this on a tribe I'm on but I thought perhaps more people would find it here, not burried in a long boring thread:
I started out 11 years ago with Juliana who has given me a great foundation and instilled in me the best of the basics. I attribute my gypsy spirit to her. Next was The Nadia Sahar, who toned and refined my moves and gave my my love of Egyptian style. I will forever be envious of her no matter where she goes. My most recent instructor has been Shaia Fahrid, who bropught me out of my hiatus and on the the stage once again, I admire her preservering spirit.
But these are not the only ladies to have inspired my dance and I would like to give praise and credit where credit is due. Romnea, who has always encouraged me and flattered me has more energy than a nuclear bomb will always be an inspiration because she is so passionate about the dance that she has been on the Milwaukee belly dance scene for 20 or more years, if it wasn't for women like her, Nadia, Juliana and Zabrina, there would be no Bellydance in Milwaukee.
Ziah was the first tribal dancer i had ever seen. I got the pleasure of meeting her in 1996. She showed me that there was more to the dance then sequins and beads, she showed me the spirit of the dance and gave me a few tricks too and for that I am greatful.
All the lovely ladies of Barika have given so much of their time and energy to start the tribal revolution in Milwaukee that if you mention bellydance to someone 90% of the time they will ask you if you are a member of Barika, That is amazing, plus they are the most kind, generous, lovely, fun women you will ever meet.
Last but not least I want to mention Kaela also known as Kael. She is my current inspiration. I wish that she would share her gifts with the Milwaukee comunity more. I would love to learn from her, but she doesn't teach. But she is so bad ass and so versitle. She is a beautiful triberet soloist, a remarkable energetic caberet dancer and her gypsy style makes me want to hang up mu ten yard skirt and bury my head in shame that I would even attempt gypsy with her around. I love her and all of the above mentioned women, they all deserve to be bragged about!
