Adira began her love affair with dance at the age of 8 with the typical fare of ballet, tap, and jazz. In college, her pallet blossomed to include modern, and to her delight,
"Ethnic" dance. The Spanish, African, and East Indian dances stirred the exotic passion in Adira and set her on the journey toward Middle Eastern dance. When she discovered belly dance Adira was infatuated by the rhythms and costumes; however, it was the ancient and rich history of the art that kept her attention. Adira enjoys the companions and exercise that belly dance provides, but above all, she chose belly dance because it celebrates womanhood in all its shapes and sizes and it makes her feel beautiful. Adira is a full-time homemaker and writing her first novel. She enjoys leisure activities including yoga, the outdoors, and studying Spanish. She is married and has two delightful daughters. Adira is a Hebrew name that means "strong and powerful."
