Hi Everyone! Posted in the Pod of the South forum before my sister MerlunA came across this introduction section...she's the more observant one of the two of us I guess, lol. :)

Merluna and I are dance partners in crime, mostly belly dance but now dabbling in Irish Step and folk dance too. Like her, I also have a background in ballet, but not quite as extensive. I went the Irish Step route instead. We're actually performing together on St. Patty's day, YAY! ^_^

Aside from my dance habits I have a heavy crafting obsession--sewing, beading, embroidery, painting, polymer clay sculpting, and general good ole' southern know-how. (Though, I'm a transplant, moved here with the family from Michigan when I was 2.) I'm an avid Craftser.org member too. I just like making stuff...pretty much any stuff, and I always wanna learn how to make, well...more stuff. ^_^

Anyway, I was so happy to find this network! And so many of you are in FL it seems. I guess it's no wonder--we live around so much water and water-themed attractions. Maybe we should start a colony, lol.

Welcome Merlune! I've always wanted to get back into dance, but martial arts tends to eat up my time. XD
And yay for another craftsman! I doodle in just about everything you mentioned.

Awesome. We've had a few martial artists in the studio from time to time, one was a guy who just wanted to work on his footwork! :)

Haha, yeah, footwork is seriously important in martial arts. Without, you're basically dead. O.o;

Awesome, another bellydancer! ^_^ Night clubs must be a blast to perform in, I haven't done one yet. I perform Egyptian Folkloric and Cabaret dance and also study Tribal. I love tribal and folkloric, but sadly it's not usually what I get booked to perform. I usually only get gigs to dance as a sparkly Cabaret dancer. :P

I think it's neat that there are so many dancers also interested in mermaiding! :)

I don't dance in Nightclubs, (nothing exciting here in NC), it just another name for 'Cabaret" LOL. You know, sequins, crystal, sparkle! LOL:)
