Are you curious about the mysterious… feminine… empowering world of bellydance?
In my McKinney TX classes, you will learn Raqs Sharqi (bellydance) in an relaxed, upbeat “boutique” setting. My priority is to help you having fun exploring this art form so that you leave class feeling inspired and rejuvenated.
The best thing about bellydance is how adaptable and therapeutic it is for EVERYONE. All ages, sizes, & abilities. Bellydance invites us to celebrate ourselves, connect with others, enhance our creativity, all while moving our bodies and releasing those “feel good” endorphins.
Our lives & bodies are unique! As a multi-certified fitness trainer, I truly understand life is a balancing act. Work & family stressors. Health issues or chronic injuries. Aging & menopausal changes. We are all navigating the ups & downs. Your classes are designed to ensure we all have a great time, enjoy the benefits of dance while moving safely.
Below, you’ll find my current class schedule and more. If you have general questions, visit my FAQs. If you have a unique concern or question, let’s talk.
You deserve the magic of bellydance in your life - let’s make it happen!

Bellydance takes time to learn! My group classes are a lot of fun but you may want a personalized setting to get comfortable moving in these new ways. Or you may be ready to level up your current bellydance skills and explore new challenges. Private sessions are held in my home studio (or on ZOOM) and vary due to my personal schedule.

Workshop Events
There are so many branches of bellydance to explore! Periodically, I offer special classes and workshop opportunities (props, music genres, folkoric material, etc) that I feel will help my students widen their dance horizons. This page will keep you informed on the latest special events.
