About Us

Dance can heal. But so many of us are thirsty and hungry for something whole. Something we’re not getting.

I became a junk food vegetarian just before I started belly dancing with June Seaney at Cornell University in 2000. It felt so good to move like a dancer in an ancient painting. I loved the women I danced with, several of which were recovering from ballet-related eating disorders. I was thinking more about food and movement and states of mind.
