Which class is right for me?
Level I: FUNdamentals
Perfect for brand-new dancers and seasoned shimmy lovers alike, this Level 1 class is all about the joyful basics. We’ll break down fundamental belly dance moves, polish technique, and build confidence step by step. Great for first-timers, returning dancers, curious improvers, and easygoing drop-ins. Come as you are and dance where you’re at. This class is held on Tuesdays from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. (Starting Jan. 2026)
Level II: Specialty Series
Level 2 is where things get juicy. We’ll explore styles, rhythms, props, and choreography through themed deep dives that change from session to session. One series might feature zills, another a drum-driven combo or fusion flair. Expect challenge, creativity, and plenty of laughs. Best for dancers with previous experience, but all adventurous spirits are welcome, Tuesdays from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. (Starting Jan. 2026)

Join me in exploring the Golden Era of belly dance, roughly the 1920s to 1960s, arguably the most exciting and influential era of belly dance. Belly dance’s “exposure” to a larger world-wide audience, through cinema, world wars and migration, brought us star belly dancers such as Samia Gamal, Tahia Carioca, and Naima Akef who will forever influence the artform.
Golden era is considered “softer” than more modern dances, with less focus on drum solos and more focus on graceful movement, strong femininity, and elegant arms.
