Information/Bio:
I have studied many different traditional improvised dance forms and research their connections... from the Middle-East, to the Gypsies of Spain to Russia & the Balkans, through to the Silk-Road. I enjoy teaching dance/movement in a simple and easy way, performing and improvising to live music. I am currently encouraging women who've had breast cancer surgery to take up fan dance - great for your upper body and your spirit.
A youtube link of me doing a double veil-fan dance is on http://www.youtube.com/user/marinamelbourne

Past performances: Canberra National folk festival '07 with Sanctuary Ensemble, Bamedam camp '08, Melbourne Middle-Eastern festival often,at Boite (way back) with Fadil Suna
