I formed a small Troupe called Pele’s Fire when I was 20; though we have since disbanded we get together to dance now and then. My students and I do performances in the Tahlequah area under a loose troupe of independent dancers using the name Pale Moon Bellydance. I currently do regular performances at the Iguana Cafe in downtown Tahlequah. I love heading workshops and have done many of them throughout the years at various festivals and fundraisers.
