Being brought up in the western suburbs of Sydney, she was from a young age embedded with middle eastern culture .... and so it was imprinted into her soul.

Gypsy	Gypsy is a professional actress who, as her name reveals, loves to travel and dance. Gypsy has been dancing with Josefina for almost five years. For Gypsy, it was easy to choose bellydance as a hobby and/or form of exercise. It meant Gypsy could laugh and be happy whilst immersing herself in this art form!
