“The Bellybutton”
Your Information Center for Bellydance Classes
CLASS LOCATION:
My classes meet at 2751 S Stonebridge Dr, Suite 1B, McKinney TX 75072, a “sort of secret” studio tucked behind the main Sai Nritya Dance Academy.
Please drive around the building and head to NE back corner. Park here & enter door 1B. After dark, look for the twinkling solar lights out front of the studio.
CLASS PRACTICE MUSIC:
Winter Choreography song, starting Feb 2025, is “Keda Keda Bayza” by Mahmoud El Esseily
Bonus Playlist? My “Practice Mix” for dancing around the house!
WHATSAPP:
Multi-week choreography class members are encouraged to join their class chat. This allows for fast, easy communications and sharing of video links, etc.
When you join a choreo session, Raena will send out the link to the private class chat or you can ask to scan the QR Code at your first class.
ZOOM CLASS OPTION:
When needed, you can attend class via ZOOM. The link can be found on your weekly email reminder.
BONUS RECORDINGS FOR PRACTICE:
You will receive an email with a Dropbox link to the class recording by the end of each week. Use the recording to catch up on a missed class or for extra practice.
* If you are in a Choreography class, I also post the weekly Dropbox link in your Whatsapp chat group.
HIP SCARVES:
I bring a stash of loaners to class each week for student use.
If you’d love your very own authentic scarf, visit here to shop local from my long-time dance sister Magdalena.
PRIVATE SESSIONS:
Do you want to work together in private? I offer registered students a discounted rate of $50 per visit. You can find all the details here and then book your session using the button below!
WEATHER:
Check your email & Whatsapp chats when our area is experiencing severe weather.
If schools are closed, our class will move to ZOOM online. Use the link in your weekly class reminder.
* If I have to cancel a class, I will share a make-up date ASAP.
