My MISSION
My mission is to provide a space where people can celebrate being themselves, and simply enjoy the moment of “living and being” through the journey of dance.
My classes are focused on celebrating uniqueness while being part of a collective, promoting a healthy body, and gaining intercultural experience through dance and movement.
WHAT IS RAKS SHARQI DANCE?
Raks Sharqi dance also known as “bellydance” originated in the Middle East as a folk/social dance and in the modern era became a highly artistic performance art.
Raks Sharqi dance lets us celebrate our bodies that come in all shapes and sizes and represent an array of ages, gender, and cultural backgrounds. The movements will help stretch and tone your body, increase your stamina, gives you body control, and help promote a confident body. Bring a hip scarf and get ready to shimmy your stress away!
