RAENA

“I just wanted to let you know how much I LOVED Raena's workshop. Super informative and fun. I would really like to try dancing with fire! Raena was a great teacher and an excellent communicator. She even went overtime to answer questions even though there were only a few of us on the screen live. I got to watch a few of Raena's performances with fire after class (on her website) and they were mesmerizing!” -Sherry

“Raena is a wonderful instructor, she makes class fun and she is always supportive. Joining her class has been very rewarding. It's a wonderful way to exercise while having fun.” -Mikael

“I started Bellydance with Raena over ten years ago. I was coming out of a bad marriage and I really needed to connect with my spirit - especially the feminine aspect - desperately and it turned out it was the perfect avenue! I love the way my body can learn to do new things, to feel empowered within myself but also by the connection I feel with women through this art. Classes with Raena are a time just for me, without pressure, without responsibilities. I laugh, I learn, I just feel good. If you are thinking about it for any reason, physical or mental, just DO IT!” -Michele

“I began taking lessons with Raena a few years ago. She’s an awesome instructor and guide. Her positivity is infectious. At some point when I started the journey, I wasn’t sure if I could do it but she has always been encouraging and inspiring. She breaks it down to layman terms that it’s so easy to understand and follow. I believe I have improved in the dance techniques and I see myself continuing my belly dance journey with Raena for a long time.” -Puspa

“I love taking classes with Raena! She is an excellent teacher and dancer. Been doing zoom classes online the past few months after taking them in person. It is the perfect break for my overstressed brain to switch off one side and turn on the other. Plus the feeling of accomplishment by learning new moves that I never thought my 52-year-old body could do!” -Kristin

I started taking classes with Raena after a long hiatus from exercise. I cannot describe accurately what a joy class time has been, and how encouraging it is to take a class with Raena. The choreographies are fun and interesting and I have had a real bonus in the wealth of knowledge she has shared about overall health and fitness. I had been dealing with a very difficult Injury and Raena was encouraging and very informative, providing additional stretches to help support my recovery. I could not have planned for a better route to recovery! Love these classes and this instructor! -Erin A

“Raena makes it easy and fun if you are new to Bellydancing! Bite-size chunks in a welcoming environment so you don’t get overwhelmed. I’ve gained more confidence in my body and have a blast shakin’ it!” -Casey M

“I wanted to take lessons from her because I loved her performance! I never took any dance lesson and I really wanted to dance gracefully. She is very friendly and teaches techniques step by step in details so that non dance experienced person like me can understand easily. Belly dance is really good exercise. It’s great for not only core work but also balancing. It also helping to reduce back pain! I love learning new dance and maintaining my health at the same time!!” -Reiko

“Raena’s dance classes are so fun! She is a great teacher and breaks down the dances into easy steps for beginners. Raena’s classes are a highlight in my week and as a bonus, my balance has improved!” -Dawn B

“The most amazing place you could ever go to! I adore my instructor Raena , she makes the class fun and look easy! Such an amazing place to learn and connect with other incredible women! Everyone is very welcoming.” -Nelisa
