Thalia (aka Patricia Wright) knew she wanted to pursue belly dancing when she first took lessons in 1976--it stole her heart and soul. Little did she realize that she would be running her own studio in the near future, the Sirrom School of Belly Dance. Having the studio gives her and the other teachers at Sirrom the opportunity to pass on this beautiful art form. 

Her inspiration comes from the late Ibraham Farrah, in addition to all the outstanding teachers she has studied without throughout the years,

What she hopes to pass along to her students is that belly dancing is a wonderful way to tone up your body, as well as clearing your mind of stress. 

In addition to performing in numerous festivals, galas, and clubs in Houston, Thalia was also a featured dancer in the Houston Grand Opera presentation at the Wortham Theatre of "The Abduction from the Seraglio"--yes, she had big hair too!

Mary Peterson, Thalia's first teacher, gave her her dance name, which means luscious and blooming. 

Thalia wishes to thank all of the Sirrom staff--they are her best friends.
