Who takes belly dance classes?  There is no ‘typical’ student for us... we have pre-teens and teens, college students, professionals, young, old, thin, voluptuous; mothers, daughters, and grandmothers in our classes!  Most women have no dance experience whatsoever; some of them used to dance years ago, and some are professional dancers who are coming to refine their technique.

Our students come for many reasons - for exercise, for fun, to meet like-minded people; for the costumes; to perform; to feel sexy; to get in touch with their femininity.  What they find is that what we teach is more than dancing - it is self-confidence, powerful femininity, self-assurance, balance, grace, strength, and much much more!


For a beginner, start with one or two classes a week, and we recommend practicing on your own as well.  Ten minutes of practice, every day, will do you more good than an hour practice once a week - and will help you keep your muscle memory intact and the moves will come easier next class.  Take from different instructors, attend workshops; every teacher explains things a little differently, and you will get a new and fresh perspective from every instructor, perhaps helping you understand the move more thoroughly.


Once you’ve been dancing at least six months, you’re ready for a choreography class!  Those classes prepare for a performance at one of our monthly Belly Dance Shows; or Hafla Dance Party!  Be prepared to purchase costuming items for the performance.
