Bellydance
Instructor - Nerissa
Hello there! My name is Nerissa and I am so excited to share the beautiful art of bellydance with you. For the past 20 years, I have been dedicated to teaching women of all ages, backgrounds and body types the joy of bellydancing. It's more than just a dance - it's a way to embrace your feminine energy, connect with women from different cultures, and stay healthy and confident in both mind and body. I am so passionate about bellydance and its health benefits and I would love you to experience them as well. Bellydance is such a special style of dance which celebrates all body shapes making it ideal for all women. I offer 9 weekly classes ranging from beginner to advanced/professional levels, both in-studio and through my new online school for those who prefer to learn from the comfort of their own home. I can't wait to dance with you!

What are the benefits of learning belly dance?
Does regularity affect the quality of lessons?
Consistency is key to making progress in belly dance. With regular practice, you can refine your techniques and grow as a dancer. Nerissa recommends beginner students attending classes once a week and as they progress to higher levels, at least twice a week, with the most dedicated students taking up to 3 or 4 classes a week for the best results.
