ENCOURAGING
"I started Bellydance as an adult with no previous dance experience. It was always encouraging and welcoming and I never got that "I'll never be able to do this" feeling like I did with some other activities as a beginner."
“J"
Dance Student
MORE THAN DANCE
"It not only stimulates the mind, but develops musicianship and an appreciation of history and culture. Thoroughly recommend to anyone considering trying something a little different."
“J"

PERSONAL STYLE

DEVELOPMENT

WONDERFUL
"BEST Bellydance school I have ever been to! Sam is amazing, she is patient, funny, caring and welcoming. You would have a lot of oppotunities to dance/perform if you wish. No matter you're new to bellydance or want to continue dancing, this is the school you have to try yourself!! Words can't describe how wonderful this community is!"
“H"
Dance Student
SAFE SPACE
"Sam cares so much about all her students, creating a safe space where everyone feels comfortable to make mistakes. She gives so much of her personal time to help and support students. The class environment is supportive and inclusive and everyone is made to feel welcome and accepted."
