All About Marta
Blog - autobiography
Introduction
Welcome to my new blog page. I am in the process of moving my blog to this site, so there is not much to read in the moment! :) I will be adding photos and stories as time permits as I have other projects ongoing (doesn't everyone?). LOL
For the curious, the blog is here: http://www.bauchtanz.com
Oh, and if anyone is wondering about the opulence of using 'the legend' in my work, there is a story behind the title. I will include it (soon), for context. Also, when I stopped performing, I opened an atelier and boutique in Istanbul. The costume line was known as the Marta the Legend Luxuryline. The domain was used for marketing the costumes and that is why I still have it.

9 October 2022 - Elton John concert, San Jose, Levi's Stadium
We started off on Friday driving to San Jose to the Levi's stadium to see Elton John. Terrific musicians. I was delighted that besides the famous songs we all love, they also played some jazzy pieces and were able to show off how talented they truly are. The concert was really spectacular.
The German years
At the end of the 1970's, the New York Hustle and the Latin Hustle were all the rage in New York. My friend, Bill Kerr, and I taught classes in Wiesbaden, Germany in a place called the American Arms. We even did a performance at a German dance school (I need to find the name, I have it somewhere) on TotenSonntag.
Sommerfest des Bundeskanzlers
1982 Bonn, Germany
In 1982 I danced at the summer festival of Bundeskanzler Helmut Schmidt. As you can see in the photo, his wife, Loki Schmidt, participated in a few moves with me for the press. This photo is from the Associated Press.
