About Me
Who is this mysterious and sultry webmaster who runs Philly Raqs? What glamorous life does she lead? Do these questions keep you up at night? *Snort* Then, you're about to be sorely disappointed:
Why I started Philly Raqs: I had to take an html class for one of my masters degrees, and our final project was a website. I thought belly dancing would be a great topic since I always got frustrated trying to find restaurants, teachers, and workshops in the area. I liked the site so much, I decided to bring it out to the web. Plus, I was always so jealous of Belly Dance NY.
How I became interested in belly dance: A happy convergence of a few events. My husband is part Lebanese and I enjoyed dancing the debke with his family at various parties, weddings, etc. We also tend to eat at Middle Eastern restaurants pretty often, so I was intrigued at the dancers we would watch while dining. When a friend asked me to come with her to take a belly dance class at a studio near my home, I thought "Why not?" She lasted for one lesson, and I became obsessed.
