Amy began dancing at age five. Although initially taking classes in ballet, she was soon swept up by gymnastics, which held her interest throughout her childhood. Then, once Amy entered the working world, she began to look for some type of exercise that she would like. Remembering how enjoyable dance classes were when she was young, she ventured to take up ballet once more. This led her to take more classes and try different styles. Five years of exploring the dance world revealed a decided interest in bellydance. Since then, Amy has focused her attention on bellydance and loves learning everything that art has to offer!
	Anja started dancing at the age of three and has passionately studied ballet, jazz, tap, modern, bellydance, hip hop, and ballroom. She teaches beginning dance classes for young children and adults. After trying Yvette's bellydance class for a few months, she joined bohemian bellies in January 2005. Anja is a community college student planning to transfer to CSU Sacramento for dance and music majors. She completed a year-long Irish Studies program in Ireland between 2006 and 2007. Her biggest dream is to someday teach dance classes in public schools as an alternative to or supplement of the traditional physical education classes.
	Ching-I is a Bellydancer, fencer, and scientist. Ching-I obtained her veterinarian license and master’s degree in Taiwan. She started her Ph.D. research at the veterinary school of the University of California, Davis in the Fall of 1999, and received her degree in March 2005. Ching-I did take ballroom dance lessons for a short period of time. Bellydancing is her first experience in the world of ethnic dance, and she has been a member of bohemian bellies since Fall 2004. As a competitive fencer in National fencing centers/Davis Fencing Academy (major weapon: epee, minor weapon: foil), she has developed balance between sword fighting and ancient bellydancing.
	Hsin-Ya has been living in Davis for 6 years to study Cell Biology at the University of California, Davis. Besides being a serious scientist, she has a dream of being a passionate dancer since she was a kid. Four years ago, when her brain froze in a cold, rainy winter night, she joined Yvette's Jazz dance class and she has not run away since then. One and half years ago she decided to face her fear of bellydancing being too revealing, since "good" Asian girls would never show their bellies in public. So, she started doing bellydance and staring at her shimmying belly button in the mirror while practicing. Her parents still believe that she is a hard-working biologist . . . and maybe, a dancer as well.
