Hello My Dear Friends,
Another week gone by on this journey called life. Wishing you many blessings and that you are very well and thank you for staying in touch with me. I am Feeling very blessed with my life. I love teaching my Shakti Dance classes and having extra time to nurture myself, grandchildren and all my relationships with my children, family, lover, friends and students.
I feel that the key to a happier life is finding the tools that work for you. Sometimes or most of the times we just have to try a few different things to find the things that make you happy and that you are willing to stay determined and consistent and not make any excuses why you should not go or do them.
Many of you know my story of from Corporate Executive to Dance Studio owner in my late 40's. I had forgotten me and focused on making money, career, husband and kids. So when I first started to dig deep I started with Tae Kwon Do and it was awesome I practiced for 5 years and it's exactly what I needed after my divorce. Then I started to do long distance bicycle rides 100 to 150 mile rides with a team and did that for about 10 years also enjoyed the heck out of that and the friends that I made and it was just what I needed at the time.
Finally by 45 I rediscovered dancing and this is where I have settled the last 20 years and I gave up the biking to focus on dance. Let me tell you it has been a journey not always great times but it's the one thing that I will not let anything or anyone get in the way including myself and my wicked witch voice inside my head. Dancing has become my intimate therapist, it's how I keep my physical and mental abilities sharp. It's how I connect to God/dess and it's how I re-energize myself. I love so many forms and this keeps changing. The one consistent and my favorite is Flamenco and Shakti Dance. I love Shakti dance because I can dance to anything in Shakti bellydance, flamenco, African, creative you name it anything and it's a sacred practice that keeps me intimately connected to my creator.
I currently study flamenco, salsa casino, afro-Cuban and teach Shakti Dance, Flamenco & Bellydance. I would love to find a great spiritual bellydance teacher again and asking the Universe if this would be possible to please bring her to me. I love to teach but I also love to learn. It's like giving and receiving and it keeps my energy flowing.
Therefore I recommend you give my shakti dance, flamenco or bellydance classes a try you never know when that something that makes a tremendous difference in your life shows up unless you give it a try. Besides my group classes at Banyan House I also teach privates so call me don't be shy (954) 881-6238 my rate is $99 an hour :)
♥️We Started last Saturday 6/8 to Work on Root Chakra with Shakti Dance®️. We are Stretching, Dancing, Meditating to powerful Root Chakra Mantras and music and continuing to connect and balance our Root by deeply connecting to Mother Earth.

The Sacral, second chakra when healthy brings comfort, pleasure, romance, desire, beauty, ingenuity, passion, affection, style, sexuality, indulgence, sweetness, creativity, art and so much more. How cool is that??
