3- Are you Covid Cautious?
Sure am! I've been vaccinated with Pfizer and a mask just adds to the fun in my weird world.
4-Do you teach Yoga?
No, only Bellydance for now. While yes I am a graduate of VSOHA 240 hour YTT program, my area of focus is Bellydance. What this means is my dance instruction is further enriched by teacher training. The wisdom I gained there all goes toward crafting the best quality Metal Fusion Bellydance class experience that I can offer.
I am however connected with that community and I encourage Every Body to try Yoga. If you're curious, for your health I say go for it! I'd be happy to recommend a teacher I sense would be a good fit for you. If you're shy I'll help with a warm introduction so you feel as comfortable with them as you do with me.

Amadéa, is the Feminine version and it means to love the Feminine aspects of Divinity:

Cool, hey?
Alright, get heavy for a breakdown all phonetic like here we go:
Syllables are 4 counts:
ah-mah-DAY-uh
-Ah-mah (like saying 'I'm a' but leading with an A)
-DAY-uh (call it a Day and end it with an A)
And again!

Amadéa!
Fun fact: the accent on the E isn't just for show, its a French thing that's a cheat code for how to pronounce vowels!
Make sense?
Let me know if it's still gnarly in the noodle or muzzle, it's a weird name and I don't expect you to nail it first go. I've been living with it my whole life trust me I've heard it all and I understand: Everybody learns everything new for the first time. Said it before I'll say it again: It's not about the fall, what matters is the recovery.
