"Belly dancing is a style that I have always thought of as intriguing,
mysterious, beautiful, and magical. Until about a year ago, I had not
found the opportunity to take a class and learn about this wonderful
form of movement and expression. That is when I met Stefanie and my
life changed! She is my teacher and my hero! I have learned much
from her--not only about Synchronized Group Improvisational Tribal
Style (SGI) belly dancing but also about living a healthier and more
fulfilling lifestyle.
After many months, many classes, and quite a bit of hard work, I was
fortunate enough to audition for Stephani e's Student Troupe ~ Sacred
Moon Tribal of Wisconsin and to be accepted into the troupe! I still
have much to learn and I am enjoying every minute of it!
Through dance with Stefanie, I am privileged to work with several
amazing and wonderful women who share my passion for this
remarkable dance form. I am looking forward to continued learning and
future performances!

"I have been interested "in all things
dance" for as long as I can remember.
While growing up, I always signed up for
any kind of dance class that my mother
and I could find - jazz, modern
interpretive, ballet, tap - it didn't matter
as long as I could learn something about
the dance and dance!
