Viktoriya
Most if not all of you know that my friend and dance teacher, Viktoriya was in a horrible car accident almost 2 years ago. It's been a long battle for her and difficult for all of us to watch her lay her trapped in her body. Friday Jan 14th she passed away. The funeral was the 21st (same day as Gwen's birthday). We all love her very much and cry for those of us who are left behind, but are glad that her battle is over. I've felt very close to her this week and could feel her celebrating being free again. I'm putting a few of her videos here to remember her, and here is the link to her obituary

Bellydance short film
Our friend, Karen Paglio, is a film student at SLCC. She's also my bellydance student. For one of her classes in Fall semester she was supposed to make a short film, and she decided to do a mini documentary on the positive impact bellydance has in women's lives. She interviewed myself, Rus, Laurelin, Gwen (both of whom I have to say were dang cute in it), Odessa of Desert Gypsy Dance Company (who is an absolutely wonderful human being and I love her dearly) and several of Odessa's students. The film was aired on SLCC's campus TV show "Insight", and is now available on Vimeo to watch online. Karen did a wonderful job putting everything together and we're so happy we could be a part of it. Enjoy!
