Mary attended Tennessee Tech University. She has a BFA degree with a major
in glassblowing. She traveled to Europe and completed her apprenticeship
with a glass company. Mary has traveled the world extensively studying art
and culture.

Dance had been Mary's passion in life. She started dance at a very young
age. Starting with ballet, tap, gymnastics, and tumbling. As you can she is
trained in a wide variety of dance.

Mary was involved in the fitness craze in the mid 80's, and competed as a
bodybuilder in the early 90's.

Mary found her love for belly dancing in the spring of 2000. She took a
class with Alexia of Knoxville for some additional exercise. Soon, she fell
in love with the art and excitement of belly dancing! After many lessons she
knew she wanted to advance in the art. She then headed to New York to train
with a master instructor named Samara. Returning from New York she was
hooked! 

Further ongoing extensive studied include: Aziza Nawal and Ramzi El-Edlibi.

Now, Mary devotes all of her time and energy to further her
education to the art of belly dancing. She is passionate about sharing her
dance experiences with every one.
