Dance

 

 

I was an ardent student of ballroom dancing for 2 fantastic years.  I reached the beginning Silver Level in American Style ballroom dancing.  I am competant as a follower in waltz, tango, foxtrot, cha-cha, rumba, single time and triple step swing, quickstep, Viennese waltz, bolero, salsa/mambo, merengue, and samba. 

 

At the Cassandra School, I reached Level 2 in Middle Eastern dance.  I would one day love to be a raqs star.

 

In addition, I have taken classes in ballet, jazz, hula, Tahitian, Argentine tango, flamenco, pole, and modern.
