I offer small number classes for Beginners and Intermediate dancers, Thursday evenings in Brooklyn.

My teaching style is very clear and I aim for my movement and choreographies to make sense. Every step, hand, and body movement is accounted for, which my students find extremely helpful, and we know exactly what part of the song and instrument we are dancing to. This approach is beneficial for improving mindful connection with our bodies, and, together with the musicality, leading us to be more integrated dancers.

Belly dance has been in my life since 1999, and my dance is guided by my love of Egyptian and Middle Eastern music. I also studied jazz to complement my development as a dancer. I am also a Clinical Psychologist and recently presented at the Australian Belly Dance Convention, focusing on the neuroscience benefits of Belly Dancing.
