She qualified as a dance teacher in 1982 and since then, she has been a member of the International Dance Teachers Association and more recently the Association of Professional Dancers in Ireland.

The beauty of bellydance is that women of any size and shape can learn it. Bellydance has the distinction of being one of the safest forms of exercise available, particularly for women with back problems. To succeed with bellydance a woman must be comfortable in her own body regardless of it's size or shape. She must, above all, be comfortable with her femininity, for bellydance is in essence a feminine art.
Last, but not least, is the fun element. Bellydance is great fun. It is glamorous and exciting and best of all, extremely rewarding.
