“Never in a million years would I have thought that I would ever perform and I’ve actually done 5 performances already. Just the thought of that, I never thought I would ever get to that point of having that confidence to be in front of people. “

“I was looking for some new kind of activity to get myself moving and I had never previously considered belly dancing. To be frank, I thought I wasn’t skinny enough and that it would make me, even more, self-conscious of my body. However, I could not have been more wrong. I’ve left each of these classes feeling better about my body than when I went in.”

“The classes aren’t just exercise, although you will get a good workout! You’ll learn dance routines, work with props such as veils and zills, and won’t even realize you’re also getting in shape.”

“The very first time [Anna] took me through this routine I felt my body relax and my muscles release the tension, which I was unaware of them holding. The exercises are designed to be completed as a routine or done separately, depending on how much time I have, where I am and how much pain I’m in. I find them easy to do yet the results are, for me, impressive.”

“The number one thing about belly dance that I appreciate is the group, the community of people. This is the most accepting and supportive group of people I have ever known. It’s a true community of support and that’s something that we don’t have very often anymore, that true friendship.”

“The amount of knowledge I get from the instructors and the amount of support from the other students have surpassed all my expectations.”

“Anna’s dedication, patience, and deep knowledge make it easy to step out of your shell. There is no judgment 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!”
