The Gilded Serpent presents-  
 

Lora Schoen

I have been entranced with bellydancing since I was a little girl, but it is only in the last few years I  have actually pursued this intrest; drawn to it again after a dream about a big snake biting me, but that’s another story. Presently, I teach high school English  in a back water community somehow hidden in the  North Bay.  There I teach literature, writing, and critical thinking and learn about all the many different people that make up this country of ours.  It’s a jungle.

Most of all I would like to dance the dance of life, transcend time, and discover those things about which philosophy cannot even dream.  So far I have been most intrigued by books, dance, usic, and drinking wine with friends.  There is much left to do!
