Are you curious about the mysterious… feminine… dare I say, POWERFUL world of bellydance?
In my McKinney TX classes, you will learn Raqs Sharqi (bellydance) in an relaxed, supportive “boutique” setting. My priority is share my expertise in a easy-to-understand way so that you leave class feeling rejuvenated, inspired, and ready for more!
My favorite thing about bellydance is how adaptable it is for EVERYONE. All ages, sizes, & abilities. Bellydance is therapeutic…offering a natural way to celebrate ourselves, connect with others, enhance our everyday creativity, all while moving our whole body and tapping into 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. My classes are designed to ensure you have a great time and enjoy the benefits of dance while moving safely.
Below, you’ll find my current class schedule for beginners and experienced dancers, alike. 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!

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.
