If any one has the least curiosity about this art form, here is a wonderful opportunity to explore and expand your horizons. Anna's dedication, patience and deep knowledge make it easy to step out of your shell. There is no judgement or pressure to look a certain way or achieve at a certain pace. There are women of all ages, shapes, sizes and ethnicities in her classes. What do they have in common? A desire to empower and express themselves. Step out of the box and retrain your body with small, isolated movements that you will learn to integrate and control. A totally different workout than you have ever done. Try it! Now in my fifth year of practice with Anna I can look back and see how far I've come in the art of Middle Eastern dance. Anna's classes have always been lively and interesting. She provides a challenge at all levels from shy beginner to advanced performer. Anna embraces a holistic approach to belly dancing and teaches not only superb technique but also rhythm (drums and zills), choreography, costuming and performance skills. She enlightens her students with the history and culture of the various regions and the rich diversity to be found in this art form. Anna has a true passion for belly dancing and is eager to share her skills and abilities with everyone. Join us!
