Originally from Florida, Jackie has been in Vermont since 1989. Always a lover of dance, her main style was country dancing when she lived in California. Jackie joined Bennington Beledi Tribal Bellydance in July of 2010. The best thing she’s ever done when she saw the flier for bellydance classes was to start! Becoming a Sister of the Shawl in October 2011 was a great honor for her. She loves performing with her dance sisters either in class or performing in various venues.
