My husband, Drakon, has been dancing, classical Egyptian and folkloric, in and around Austin, Texas 78704 for 12 years. He has built a strong fan base, as we also produce a monthly belly dance show which is a regular venue for dancers of all levels (as long as they are Middle Eastern styles or Tribal). He is now 57 years old and in GREAT shape and firmly believes that the belly dancing has "saved his body". Even if he was not a performer, teacher (4 classes each week) and event producer, he would belly dance just as an exercise (2 hours of dancing nearly every day, sometimes more). Check out the website Desert Passion Middle Eastern Dance Theater and go to the "About Page" for his pictures. No one believes he has 14 grandchildren and 4 great grand children.....
