Nissimov, whom Patch profiled last May, lost her nearly two-year battle with adrenal cancer on Jan. 25.
Sigi Nissimov, a professional bellydancer who owned the Life Movement Spirit and Dance Center on Saddle River Road, died Jan. 25 after a nearly two-year battle with adrenal cancer. She was 43.

"Maybe I’m brave, maybe I’m stupid, but it doesn’…
