AT HOMESTEAD

A year later I was teaching others in my SCA group, and in 2003 began teaching classes through the local college. In 2006 my students and fledgling troupe, Sha'Waza Belly Dance Company, had their first performance with my eight year old daughter beside me... Our troupe grew to over 30 members at one point with many appearances each year, securing an annual place at the Midsummer Renaissance Festival in Utah... After somewhere around 101 design attempts and changes, I finally perfected a skirt design I love to wear and didn't hate to make. While watching the classic movie "Petticoat Junction", I coined Petticoat Skirts to identify my skirts.
