"When you want the very best, go to the source."
Tempest is the premiere instructor for Gothic Belly Dance, and has been the most influential in defining the genre and putting it into an instructional format that is accessible to all styles and levels of dancers. Her exuberant teaching style focuses on the whole dancer - mind and body, enabling dancers to develop their own voice in the dance, and present it more powerfully through character emphasis, audience capture, and professional application of technique.

With a strong foundation in traditional oriental dance, Tempest presents her original fusion material while directly emphasizing and identifying the roots of where the dance came from. Her workshop design does not rely on a static choreography - rather she presents combinations and accents that students can easily absorb into their own repertoire. Also, her 3-part warm-up is accessible to all levels and ages of dancers, utilizing dance moves to effectively and safely warm-up the body and mind, versus yoga-based warm-ups. Her warm and enthusiastic personality balances work with fun, pushing students to reach their potential while providing an enjoyable experience.

She offers over 20 different workshops - a complete listing with descriptions and sample contract can be obtained via e-mail for interested sponsors.
