Kawakib Bellydancing Classes

  My Oriental Dance classes are structured to present a wealth of material on the many facets of this complex art form.  Although my instruction is  based on Egyptian-style Oriental Dance,  I also include folkloric material from various countries around the Mediterranean area.  My students see the "big picture" of bellydance, and develop a depth of appreciation & understanding of the finer points of our art.

  In addition to standard bellydance technique I also include the  Tribal Odyssey format in my classes - it benefits students by helping them to develop focus, awareness, and graceful transitions  while dancing.
  If you've studied "ATS" before and found it it be too one-sided or the posture uncomfortable, the Tribal Odyssey format uses a normal posture, and natural movement on BOTH sides of the body, so does not lead to over-development on one side, or undue stress on the back. 

  I also offer private and semi-private lessons, and professional  coaching for individuals and groups.

  My years of experience as a full-time professional dancer & instructor reflect the seriousness of my commitment to the dance.  My holistic approach enourages students to explore their abilities to the
fullest, developing an inner strength that impacts their lives even outside the classroom.
