ORIENTAL
(BELLY)
DANCE ("Raks Sharki")
TRIBAL ODYSSEY (Improvisational
Tribal Style Bellydance)
![]() |
My Oriental Dance classes are structured to present a wealth of material on the many facets of this complex art form. Although my instruction is based on Egyptian-style Oriental Dance, I often include folkloric material from the Middle East. My students see the "big picture" of bellydance, and develop a depth of appreciation & understanding of the finer points of our art.
In
addition to standard bellydance technique I also include the
Tribal
Odyssey format in my classes - it benefits students
by
helping them to develop focus, awareness, and graceful transitions
while
dancing. I also offer private and semi-private lessons, workshops, and professional coaching for individuals and groups.
My
20 years of
experience as a full-time professional dancer
and instructor
reflect my serious commitment to the dance. My holistic
approach encourages students to explore their abilities to the fullest,
developing an inner strength that enriches their lives even
outside
the classroom. My unique and effective teaching method was reviewed and certified by the National Association for Teacher Certification in Middle Eastern Dance (2008). Click here to read some comments from their review board. "Bellydance...is God's gift to women" |
