I teach a mixture of Arabic, Greek and Egyptian and have been teaching off and on since 1977. I have danced at 7th Veil in Phoenix, but that has long since closed its doors, and danced regularly here in Casa Grande at "Coops" Restaurant, which also has bit the dust many years back. Right now our group dances at the various RV parks and such. I have been teaching for Eloy Parks and Recreation and also have classes in my home, plus I help Nicole Durbin who teaches thru Casa Grande Parks and Recreation.
