gypsy feet

Hi! I'm Jenny.

I fell in love with belly dance when I worked at the Georgia Renaissance Festival.  I was worked at a jewelry booth across from the Marrakesh Mews stage in 2007, and I watched every show the Awalim Dance Company performed. 

I started taking belly dancing lessons in January 2010 and I absolutely love it. . I take classes at Floorspace Dance in Athens, Georgia, owned by lovely dancer Christy Fricks.

I like to write about what I learn in classes and workshops, to help me remember and to mark my progress as a dancer.  Right now I'm loving the Turkish Tribal classes I'm taking from Christy Fricks and Tribal Odyssey group improv classes taught by Rajni. I love American Tribal Style and am working through the FatChanceBellyDance DVDs.  

This blog is also a scrapbook of sorts, as I post pictures of dancers and costumes that inspire me.  I try to give credit for every photograph I publish; if a picture is not attributed correctly, please let me know and I'll correct it. 

I also write regularly in my life blog, dandelion breath, and I post fantasy book reviews and write about library-related information at Stone Soup Books.
