Need professional training but don't have time for group class? See about Private Lessons and Coaching at Anthea's home dance studio.

Performance Skills (stage presence, focus, relaxation, etc.) are taught as part of dance class, and our annual summer Student Recital provides a showcase for students who wish to perform.
However, no one is required to perform.

Even if you don't perform, learning stage skills gives you social poise and self-confidence in everyday life.

Whether you want to perform, explore your creativity
or just have fun while getting fit,
Anthea's certified teaching method can help you
 define and reach your goals!

Testimonials
Zitana (Women of Selket troupe, Richmond VA) praised Anthea (Kawakib)'s students:
"Just wanted to let you know that four of your students were at our last workshop.  They all danced beautifully and did a wonderful job of keeping up with the instructor.  When I was watching....their movements were very concise, and it was clear that they were receiving excellent instruction!"
Certification board judge:
"Your portfolio is highly impressive and your dancing and demeanor are professional.  I am recommending that you be certified. Congratulations!  Between the DVD and the written information you sent, you demonstrate a great deal of knowledge of Middle Eastern Dance in its various forms.  From Raks Sharqi to Tribal Fusion to zills, veils, sword and cane it is obvious that you know your material very well and that you have an excellent ability to communicate this to your students."
Zi'ah Ali of Awalim:
"She...has been very instrumental in teaching me how to break away from standard 1,2,3,4 (combination) construction.
From the few workshops we've been able to take with her, it has opened our minds to the myriad of possibilities on where to place accents and how to build crescendo into a little combo....(hers) were some of the few combos that fit right underneath the advanced zil (finger cymbal) rhythms we were learning...."
