At this point, nearly half of her life. She is fluent in Classical, Gypsy, Fusion,Tribal , Sword, Veil and more.
She has lived abroad and always managed to make time for her Dance study. When there was no teacher, she taught.
She was initially exposed to Tribal in 1993 when she viewed a Fat Chance Bellydance ® vhs tape. She was intrigued and hooked from minute one! She did not get the chance to focus and study Tribal within a group dynamic until she returned to the U.S. in 1994.
In 2006, LuSynda achieved one of her dreams, by attending a Tribal Pura workshop with Carolena and Megha Gavin of Devyani. In May of 2007 she achieved her General Skills Certification with a visit to the Fat Chance Studio in San Francisco.
In 2011, Lusynda achieved her Teacher Training level one from Carolena Nericchio.
Dance has been the constant in her life. No matter where she ended up, she never quit dancing. She continues to attend workshops and classes to hone her skills. It keeps her young and alive!
LuSynda has requested that a post be made on our site announcing that she is on a medical leave of absence. Her Belili Moon sisters lovingly await her return.
