I recently retired from a career as a Waldorf elementary school teacher. For the past 25 years I taught academic subjects to children in grades 1 - 5, and Eurythmy, a movement art, to everyone from preschoolers to adult learners. In addition, I directed an after-school children's performance group. I was a long-time member of a professional performing group that specializes in presenting multicultural folk and fairy tales in Eurythmy.
In my spare time, I like to engage in Balkan and Near Eastern folk dance, language study, gardening, and reading. I am a member of a Turkish folk dance group and study traditional Greek dance.
I am taking a TEFL course in Turkey this April and am eager to once again connect with the people and cultures of Turkey and Greece and perhaps to make my first trip to Morocco!Interests
