RoxannaRoxanna has been dancing all her life. Her mother says that, even as a toddler, she just had to switch the radio on and Roxanna would start to sway to the music. She started taking ballet classes at 4. She discovered belly dancing at the age of 26, when she walked into the wrong dance studio at a dance school. and found herself in a class with dancers wearing hip belts in all colours, and with the most beautiful music. While I enjoy all music and all dancing, Oriental music is like a narcotic/drug/opium that I simply cannot resist. |
