For as long as I can remember, I have been a dancer.
I started taking dance lessons when I was five.  During high school I started going to clubs.  I went to my first goth club when I was about eighteen (remember Revival on 3rd Street?).
After high school I stopped taking dance lessons, but continued to go to clubs.  About five years ago I really started to miss the dance classes that had been such a constant in my life, but didn't think I'd feel comfortable taking ballet or jazz again.  At this point in my life I got married and had a baby, and then another baby. 
Almost one year after I had my second child I discovered tribal bellydance and began taking lessons.  I was hooked immediately!  I loved that this style of dance was about being part of a group.  Tribal dancing merges the energies of the dancers and creates a collective vibe.
Being a member of Ak-Ana has given me the chance to combine my love of goth music and aesthetics with the form of dance I have grown to love, creating a unique dancing experience.  My sister dancers are an inspiration to me.
