Public Lessons and Workshops

I currently teach ongoing public lessons at:

Workout Club and Wellness Center (members only; guests may be able to attend for a fee); on hiatus for the summer, but check the new schedules in the fall!

Please for current class schedules, as schedules posted here are subject to change.

I also teach private lessons; please if you are interested.

I am currently developing a workshop: "Creating Simple Costuming Without Raiding Your Coin Belt (and other secrets for beginning bellydancers)." Details will follow soon...
