Hi there! I'm Saqra from Seattle, WA, USA. I've been around for a long time off and on on this list visiting and reading but not commenting, then finally joined a while back. Now finally introducing myself because something made me open my big mouth and comment.
This is my 31st year in this dance form, I do teach internationally, travel a lot, have a dance studio and an instructional DVD series and a band and sponsor events and all that stuff.
Generally I'm into dance education, tolerance of others and playing nice.
I do speak my mind (which gets me in trouble) but if you ever need help I'm a good person to have in your corner because I do tend to defend my friends to the death. <grin>
I am also always looking for people coming into my area (Seattle, WA and Portland, OR) to feature as instructors or invite to things as dancers and am always interested in networking & trades.
And if you ever decide to create an event you are welcome to contact me and I will tell you absolutely everything I know... because I believe in being as free as I can be with anything I know.
I have put on at least one of everything known to dance kind. From retreats to competitions to festivals to show events. From restaurant booking to being a house dancer.
To editing a magazine... to maintaining a massive web site... to getting spots out of silk. If I can be of help in any small way please just ask.
I look forward to meeting new people and probably annoying them with pesky questions and opinions of my own.
I also have a terrific husband and 3 African Grey parrots.
And that is just about it about me, I think.
