Who

This belly dance curriculum is for you if you:

  • Are a new or “returning” belly dance student – you’ll get a workout, but it’s deep core muscles, (usually) not a cardio class,
  • Want to develop your sensuality, grace, poise, and overall body connection, and
  • Want to do a body-art that lets you express yourself emotionally, integrate your energy flow with your physical movement, and cultivate your own inner goddess!

Classes are taught by Alay’na who has been studying belly dance since 1984, and has been teaching since 1991.

See Alay’na’s interview with John Monsul, on Communicating Today:

Alay’na teaches the kind of belly dance (or more appropriately, Mid-Eastern Dance) that evolved during the 1970’s in New York city. Some of her most renowned teachers include:

  • Anahid Sofian,
  • Elena Lentini, and
  • Morocco.

Alay’na is the author of the widely-acclaimed book, Unveiling: The Inner Journey, with over twenty 5-star Amazon reviews.
