What Our Students Say

 5/5

“Anna is an incredible teacher who genuinely cares about her students’ artistic growth and development, both inside and outside class. She has a magical way of simplifying complex belly dance moves. Her extensive experience and knowledge shine through in every aspect of her teaching, not just the techniques and choreographies but also in sharing the beauty of Egyptian music and rhythms, stage presence, confidence, and the historical and cultural significance of what we learn. I’m so lucky to have found Ahlam Academy. I always leave the studio feeling more empowered and feminine.”

— Fatima

“I can’t say enough great things about this one-of-a-kind belly dancing class. I happily drove 30 min each way for biweekly sessions I choose because they were absolutely worth it. The energy in the room is incredible, and the group learning environment makes every class feel supportive, fun, and motivating. The teacher (Anna) is truly exceptional – she breaks down every step clearly, helps us understand the rhythms behind the movements, and makes even the most complex techniques feel approachable. I’ve learned so much, gained confidence, and looked forward to every single class. If you are considering trying belly dance, this is the place to do it. Highly recommend!”
— Lavanya

“The best dance instructor I have found in the area. Here you learn from day one! The lead instructor [Anna] has a lot of experience and knowledge about Middle, Near East and North African dances. They teach you from zero/little experience, and you can even become a certified dancer, even a dance teacher! Classes are affordable, and everybody there is very friendly. I love it!”

— Sivoney
