$12 per class hour for group instruction. $30 per class hour for private instruction.
I teach weekly classes at Seattle Central Community College on Capitol Hill and workshops and private lessons in the Seattle area. Bellydance is a powerful form of creative expression, a means to feeling more comfortable in your physical body, and a great workout. My classes are suitable for women of all ages, shapes, and sizes. The gentle, low-impact dance form will stretch and strengthen you and at the same time encourage you to embrace your female power. It's fun and we laugh a lot as we learn. Be brave and give yourself the gift of dance!
