I have just completed studying radio and television production at New England Tech. I was born in Derby England with a Caribbean background. Moved to the United States in 1976, always had a passion for dance and the arts. Teaching dance for over 30 years, owned a cabaret troop and performed on cruise ships when docked in St. Thomas Virgin Islands. Hoping to one day own my own Cabaret lounge.


Nyla

Oriental Dance, Raks Sharki, Middle Eastern Dance... Belly Dance. So many names to be recognized yet today this art form is alive in many variations all over the world. My name is Nyla. I have been Belly dancing for six and a half years and teaching for four. From day one I have been inspired immensely by this art. Since I started teaching, my love for the dance has grown stronger. Meeting new people and sharing this art form are probably the best benefits from teaching it. Not only do I get to dance... a lot, but I get to inspire as well. So come have fun, get toned, and most of all get inspired by the serenity of Belly Dance!!!
