Profile Information
- My Title:
- My name is Sami Arifi male from, Stamford,CT originally from Queens,NY My ethnic is Albanian/American - first generation.. My profession is Ballroom & Latin dancer. I instructo American Style to students I teach private lessons, I do compete with students & also entertain/perform at all events and more..
- My Story:
- I started off being a dancer since the age of 6I grew up in a life style of being an old fashion albanian with stricked rules of school and home, barely had friends untill my teenager years, as a 15 yr old i start my first job at the fredastaire dance studio in Stamford,CT where i moved from queens,NY .. MY life changed since i camt to Connecticut. after so strongly getting to know the business and how hard it was to learn. I felt that it was never going to happen. but I did learn fast and time went by as i experianced the dance world. i've come to understand more about it. indeed it changed everything in my life from the time i startted. I become well respected by others become more mature & more.. in my mid 20's i worked with the Arthur Murray dance studio for a few years I leanred much more then just dancing but how to run a business and be a good instructor as well. at this point on I felt the need to become an independent dance instructor. but there is more to my story then just being a dance instructor, i've struggled thru hard times & good times with all dance studios ive come across. it made me who I am. but I also like to add in the pain i've gone thru in the past and presant. being in the dance world is more tuff then anyone can imagine. there are people that intimidate you, make you feel as if your not good enough, or just jealous of your good work and dancing experiance. being that Im a dancer and I am proud to be in this feild because I am the first Albanian Born American to be in this field of Ballroom dancing. and I will not give up on all that ive struggled thru. times have been tuff with no luck of finding a dance partner nor much luck with any of the goals ive put together. but someday I know I will make it out there and share my story to the world of what i went thru to make it out there. one thing about me that people find interesting is that after looseing so much in my life and everything had fallen apart including my dancing, im still here in good health and still moving foward, I know that my life is not where it's at yet. but i know god is watching me and he knows i won't give up with my faith and my god next to me he will guide me and keep the right path for me as long as im still alive. Thank you all for reading my story god bless.
