I've been Belly Dancing for 27 years and teaching for the last 15 years. I have taught and coached dancers of all skills in both a group and one on one setting. I provide a private and comfortable surrounding in my home, or I can come to yours. My style is to help dancers master the fundamentals and to help them find the spirit of the dance within themselves. I like to call it "Dance From Within and Create a Style of Your Own".  

About Private Belly Dance Classes

Private Belly Dance class is the best way for students to retain the movements, history and philosophy I teach. As a belly dancer you have a story to tell with your body. Private instruction provides a safe environment that will provide you a sanctuary that will help you discover your own philosophy and style. I have seen dancers struggle articulating movement with how they feel. Private classes offer a sanctuary for you where you can learn to trust yourself. Movement of the body is how we tell our story to the audience. Using your body as an instrument means you express emotion in every part of the body.  One movement can tell the audience you are sad, happy, angry or overcome with passion.  The best and most dynamic prop you will ever have is your body.  Master your body and you will not only become an amazing dancer but you will become a master storyteller. To inquire about a private class use the "Contact" form.
