DOB  25/08/77    I grew up in Newcastle

 What do you do for a living? I make water catchment models for councils around Australia that commission us, sell Sculptures and textiles in a gallery in Katoomba, life modelling, and I am just about to start a new job in an alternative shop in the mountains.

 What is your personal life like?     Colourful!

 How long have you been dancing?  since I was 3.

 What other styles have you done?  Jazz, classical, modern dance, splashes of hip hop, Workshops in African, Egyptian Baladi for many years, Turkish, Flamenco and Kabeliah Gypsy…I think that covers it

 How long have you been doing tribal?   Since 2002 When I went to the mountains for my first workshop.

 What appeals to you about tribal?  The strength and grace of small but very controlled movement and the power of the flamenco influenced posture was the main attraction , as well as the gorgeous black skirts. The awe that is created within when I watch a really great slow dancer made me really want to learn how to accomplish that myself ….oh and the opportunity to wear lots of elegantly crafted beautiful chunks of silver. He he

 Hobbies? Oh so many fun things to do, Spinning, weaving, felting, basketry, drumming, sculpture, silver smithing, walking through the wonderful Blue Mountains wilderness, Dancing of course, and weeding Devi’s garden.

 What dancers inspire you?  Ohh so many to pick from so I will give you 3… Devi of course that’s why I left my home town and moved to the misty mountains, Maria Osende who I studied Flamenco with in Canada, you should really check her out, hot hot stuff, and finally the beautiful and enchanting Colleena.

 Where do you see yourself and Ghawazi in the future?  Hmmm don’t know really so many things have happened that I couldn’t have imagined so I’ll see what fate has in store for us….. dancing in Egypt would be nice.
