Are you ready to join the empowering world of bellydance?

What I love about this dance is how it is so adaptable and therapeutic, for EVERYONE. All ages, sizes, abilities. Bellydance leads us to celebrate ourselves, connect with others, enhance our creativity, all while moving our bodies and releasing those “feel good” endorphins.

In my McKinney TX classes, you will learn Raqs Sharqi (bellydance) in an relaxed, upbeat “boutique” setting. My priority is for each student to have a great time and leave my class feeling better than when you arrived.

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. Personally, I have Ehlers Danlos (EDS) so my classes are designed to ensure you and I enjoy the benefits, while having fun & moving safely.

Below, you’ll find all the details about my various classes and more. If you have general questions, visit my FAQs. If you have another concern, let’s talk.

You deserve the magic of bellydance in your life - let’s make it happen!

  • Private Lessons

    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.
