A married mom of two and a returning student in the health care field, Magdalene has been belly dancing since 2002 and teaching since 2004. She began her belly dance career while doing grant writing and program development for non-profits working with at-risk youth in Casper, Wyoming. Seizing the opportunity to bring cultural awareness and positive body image to young boys and girls that the organizations served, she created a world dance program and began teaching at two Boys and Girls Clubs. From there, her passion for bringing the dance to others only expanded. Whether dancing with one or two swords or incorporating feats of flexibility in her dancing, Magdalene likes to bring her own percussive style to the troupe.

When Qadria's children left home several years ago, she finally had the time and money at the same time to take dance classes. The first dance teacher she met taught bellydance. Mariel's view of bellydance is that it's an expression of spirituality, a way of establishing community while establishing your personal power, freedom, and joy. It's made all the difference in Qadria's life, and as she passes along the dance to new folks, she hears them say the same thing. Who knew dancing, and especially dancing in community, could be such an uplifting experience? She's been lucky enough to have a supportive and devoted spouse, Jeff, who describes himself as the wind beneath her wings. Her grown children Steve and Valerie are likewise supportive, and proud of their mom the bellydancer.
