Welcome!

Hi folks and welcome to my new website!

Since 1998 my internet presence has been as a Bellydance teacher in Sydney Australia with the website "dreamingofjeannie.com.au." During that time some of you may have seen me on the following:

During that time my talents have changed (although I'm still here in sunny Sydney), as I schooled myself in various other styles of dance and added Pilates and Yoga to my repertoire. I had also had some writing published and have done (and continue to do) animal rights/animal welfare work.

So rather than making different websites for all the hats I wear, I decided to amalgamate them into one monster website which is what you're looking at now. Enjoy!

PS. The articles (previously on a dedicated page), are now separated as per their category. You can find them on the following pages: Bellydance, Yoga, Pilates and Classes. However, as this is a new site, there are many articles that I have yet to put into the new format. Please bear with me as I do it bit by bit!

In the words of Mahatma Gandhi: "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated."

SAY NO TO ANIMALS IN PET SHOPS!

At Say No (www.saynotoanimalsinpetshops.com) it's estimated that 130,000 dogs and 60,000 cats are killed every year because there are not enough homes for them all. You can be part of the solution by NOT breeding your pet – all animal welfare organisations agree that desexing is part of responsible pet ownership. Too many animals are bred simply for profit and many petshops are contributing to this enormous problem by encouraging irresponsible breeding and impulse purchasing of puppies. For these reasons, shelters are a far better place to buy a pet: Google "animal shelters" to find one in your state and country, and visit Death Row Pets (www.deathrowpets.net) to see what else you can do to help.

AND REMEMBER: THERE ARE NO BAD PETS, JUST BAD OWNERS!
