Fat Cat Belly Dance   Bringing joy and laughter to dance

Happy New Year!  Hoping everyone enjoyed the Christmas and holiday season, along with our beautiful weather.  I was happy to perform with my lovely students at two events recently – the Dance With Alana’s “ugly Christmas sweater party”, and Halyma’s Ottawa Community Class Party.  The ladies did a great job, and I was so proud of their stage presence; wearing pretty costumes, heads up, smiling, and enjoying themselves after all that hard work.  We were blessed with appreciative audiences, and it felt good to know that their first introduction to performing was such a positive experience.  That’s what makes my job so awesome!  Big thanks to both Alana Hock, and Tracey Vibert (Halyma), for creating events like these, to allow teachers and students to shine on stage.

After a brief break, it’s time to get my suitcase loaded up with coin scarves and be ready to roll again.  Winter session listings are all updated on my ‘Classes’ page.  I know, it’s tough to get motivated at this time of year, when the weather gets cold, snowy, and all-around nasty.  Some days, I just want to curl up in my PJ’s and eat bonbons, and watch trashy TV.  But I must admit that getting out and getting active is a great antidote for the winter blues and blahs.  So, if you want to try something fun for fitness, come on out and learn to dance…shimmies and smiles guaranteed!!
