Connect to the heart of Egyptian dance.

Each class is designed to build confidence through clear instruction, meaningful practice, and individual feedback in a supportive learning environment.  Drop-in price: $40 plus HST.  If you'd like to take a drop-in class, please email us to check on availability for the date you'd like to attend.

New! 4-Week Choreography Intensive
Starts November 15th-December 6th 11:30am.-1:00pm.

Join me for a special, four-week intermediate choreography intensive as we bring back one of my favourite choreographies - a piece I originally created for BellyUp that went on to win the top prize at Star Bellydancer of Canada. This is your chance to learn the choreography, dig into the music and many movements, and experience what it takes to take a piece beyond simply knowing the steps. Over four 90 minute classes, we'll learn a complete choreography while working on musicality, transitions, movement quality, styling, dynamics and performance. The final week will be dedicated to cleaning and polishing and putting the choreography together as a complete performance piece.  This course is designed for dancers who are comfortable learning choreography at a steady pace and have a solid foundation in Egyptian-style Bellydance/Raqs Sharqi.  There are limited spots available in this intensive so that I can give focused instruction and feedback to all registrants. Early bird discount available until 10/25. Course price: $150 plus HST. After 10/25 $165 plus HST.  Register today!
