Mirage Trio has been dancing together since 2006. Collectively we have 2
dogs, 5 cats, 5 kids, 2 husbands, a soon-to-be husband, and we are a department unit manager, pediatric hygenist
and a stay-at-home mom/home schooler. See if you can guess who's-who. We never have enough time or enough belly dancing trinkets,
but we have an over abundance of fun and laughter. We share a love of belly dance and are members of a "larger"
troupe, Kaleidoscope, also of Westminster, Maryland. We have taken, and are still taking a variety of workshops and
classes with many FANTASTIC instructors - Dr. Piper Reid-Hunt, Doris Iren, Suhaila Salimpour, Urban Gypsy,
Kassar, Bella NaTana, Unmata, Sashi, Wendy H., Kandi, n.o.madic, Zahra Zuhair, and Sitamun. To our instructors
we say, "You raq!". To you we say, "thank you for your well wishes and support." Keep in touch and watch
us grow. We had a great time in Texas (January 2008) taking many classes and performing in
the Friday night show at 3rd Coast Tribal. You can view our performance below. We can't wait to
return to the 3rd Coast!! .
Valerie has been dancing since 14. She tried many styles of dance but none allowed the freedom
of expression she found in belly dance. Her mission is to encourage women of all ages to express themselves and allow their
bodies to move to the sounds of music, to realize each women is special, and recreate the ideas of what belly dancing
is really about.
Janet has been dancing and modeling since age 4. She is our motivator and we are where we are because of Janet!!
She describes herself as a "silly, professional chic born and bred in Maryland". We know her as an avid
learner and a go-getter. Her love of belly dancing continues to grow by leaps and bounds. Did we
mention she makes killer brownies!!
Wendy has been dabbling in dance, music and yoga all her life. Wendy is an assistant
for ballet and tap dance classes for children from 2 to 6 years old. She loves chocolate and enjoys making costumes,
belts and jewelry for belly dance. So, keep your eyes on this site for a link to her "store". Wendy has learned
a lot from Janet and Valerie, and wants to say "Thanks chics". Namaste.
