"Under the surface of every woman's soul,
there is a bed of embers waiting to ignite!"
Liz My dancing name is Thea. Thea means goddess and I chose that name because the goddess energy is what makes bellydancing the enchanting dance it is. Bellydancing is beautuful, challenging, sexy, and the best outlet I have found to use to let go. This dance has such a powerful impact on the unsuspecting practitioner! Sure, you join because it sounds like fun and a good way to tone up (and it is). Later you will discover the goddess engery inside of you waiting to be released. After you feel that SOUL FIRE... you will never be the same woman again. I have whitnessed the changes and personal journeys that belly dancing takes a women through time and time again. I encourage, challenge and invite every goddess of every race, every opinion, every age, and every size to join your sisters and discover the fire within your soul.
Beth Ever since I was a little girl I dreamed of being a bellydancer. After pharmacy school, serving 7 years active duty in the army and having two children, I found myself able to stay home with my girls. I was encouraged to take up a hobby outside the home. What better than my life long dream of bellydancing? I started taking lessons and realized immediately that this dance was not just a hobby, but gave me purpose in my life. Bellydance is a way for me to express myself and be proud of my feminine body. Through teaching, I want to reach women of all ages and sizes and let them know bellydance can be for any women. The best of it all is the wonderful bonds I've developed with the Soul Fire Sisters. I love each member and value our friendship very much. Let's bellydance!
Jackie Bellydance has been in & out of my life over the past 30 years. Whenever I’d decide that I was too busy doing other things this magical form of dance & expression would sneak its way back into my life. Now I see bellydance as a necessary passion - just "being in the moment of the dance" is an awesome feeling. There is such a variety of great music, beautiful clothes, and creative freedom in the dance movements. I love the contrasts of energy flow: strong/gentle, big/little, slow/fast, smooth/angular. Bellydance challenges me to enhance my flexibility, balance, gracefulness, stamina, and femininity. Having fun, making friends, and dedicating time to hard work is all part of it. Sharing this empowering dance with an audience, with my daughter, and with my "sisters", is truly a blessing. Thank you for visiting the SFS web site. "Let your body make the music"
Emily I was first inspired to dance by a woman named Angela that I met in masssage school. She was constantly shimmying from one massage table to the next. She radiated with strength and grace and I felt compelled to find from where she pulled her energy. When she told me she was a bellydancer I knew that I had to try it for myself. Shortly after that I took a class from Beth. From that day forward I was hooked.. I started dancing with the Soul Fire Sisters in 2005. As a local massage therapist I relieve my clients' stress on a daily basis. Bellydance works for me in the same way. It allows me to be free and let go of my own stress and anxiety. I can no longer imagine my life without bellydancing or without my fellow Soul Fire Sisters.
Selena I have been dancing for about 3 ½ years. I get my inspiration from my name, Selena, the name of the Greek goddess of the moon. I love the way the rhythm moves my body, and how wonderful it feels to dance with such lively and exciting women. I wouldn’t trade it for the world!
