Margaret Slocombe (Mahira), artistic director

Margaret has been part of the New England belly dance community for over thirty years, first as a performer and then as a vendor of belly dance costumes, music, and accessories. Vending has given her many opportunities to travel and meet new people. Mahira has studied with many well-known teachers, including Morwenna Assaf, Bert Balladine, and Amaya of New Mexico. Mahira is a former second-grade teacher, which probably prepared her well for her current position with Origins.
