About Me

My name is Merilyn.  I am a Capricorn.  I have always been fascinated by belly dance and was overjoyed to find classes locally back in 1997.  l have been belly dancing ever since and have been learning Tribal belly dance since June 05.  Originally with Sandy Burrow and Aziff from Glenmore Park Sydney and a short while with Tribal Spirit.  I'm freelancing at the moment with Sue M also formerly of Aziff, we are a duet called Siempre.

Tribal dance has become almost an obsession for me as I'm sure you can relate to.  I find myself practicing moves at the kitchen sink, walking down the hallway, driving in the car, I have to stop myself at the supermarket. 

But its not just the beautiful, strong, graceful dance moves that I enjoy its also the physical strength, flexibility and posture that the dance helps to build and as an older dancer this is important to me!  I love the group dynamic and the earthy female spirit and friendship that is encouraged.  The music is fabulous!

I also love all the stuff that goes with it, the jewellery, costumes, makeup etc. and I spend hours putting costumes together or searching for Tribal goodies to either wear or sell on this site, I figure if I love it someone else is bound to too.  Running this site is a great opportunity for me to communicate with my dancing sisters everywhere and I'm finding that the same spirit of friendship and mutual respect that I have found in my dance journey exists in the whole Tribal community and that's something to celebrate.

Sue and I perform at the Tribal soiree's held within driving distance (3hrs)  of Sydney, (I usually have a stall at these as well) and at Christmas parties etc. and we all have a great time practicing for these and performing, I try to look on the nervousness of performing as excitement rather than stress. After all for me its all about participation not perfection.

This is me at Ghawazi's Everglades fund raiser in Feb 06

and here we are in 2009

My husband Martin and I live in a rural environment, I enjoy dancing (of course), reading fantasy / sci fi novels, cooking, wines, gardening, sewing, sculpting, movies and music and am trying to fit in the Darabooka as well.  I hope to do some traveling soon, I spent some time in Egypt in 05  and am hooked on the Middle East and hope to see more of it in the coming years.
