Move, Connect, Grow & Celebrate YOU!
Do you want to explore the mysterious, feminine, POWER-FULL world of bellydance?
All you need is a sense of adventure and a knowledgable instructor!
Welcome Dancer! In my adult-focused McKinney, TX classes, you’ll learn Raqs Sharqi (bellydance) in a relaxed, supportive environment with boutique-sized classes that ensure you’ll feel seen and supported every step-touch along the way (rather than being a random face in a gym class).
As a certified professional, I’m very thoughtful about designing classes that ensure bellydance movements are safe, understandable AND fun to learn, so you leave feeling rejuvenated, inspired, and wanting more (and telling your friends, too!).
Below, you’ll find my upcoming class schedule. If you have general questions, visit my FAQs. If you have a unique concern or question, let’s talk.
Let’s make bellydance your “oasis” from the everyday!
XOXO,

Adaptable for all skill levels… Beginners WELCOME!
Since the beginning of humanity, movement has been a instinctive way to express emotions, celebrate ourselves, connect with others, and access more creativity…all while benefiting from the “feel-good” endorphins.
My favorite thing about bellydance is how adaptable it is for EVERYONE (any age, size, or ability). As a multi-certified fitness trainer, I’m deeply aware that life is a balancing act: work and family stressors, health issues or chronic injuries, aging, and menopausal changes. My class material makes sure you have a great time, safely. Bonus? If needed, you can join any class via ZOOM and I share the recording weekly so you can practice at home or make-up a missed class.
Many times students have shared how my bellydance class is their “happy place”, helping them gracefully navigate the ups and downs of life.
