"Lorelie teaches AUTHENTIC Middle Eastern belly dancing. We learn about rhythms, how to make our own costumes and their significance in Middle Eastern culture. The music truly is beautiful. As a group, we have grown into women who support one another, improved our confidence and truly care about each other. We enjoy a judgement free zone and have developed deep friendships. Lorelie is our mentor, and also, a dear friend."

Guidelines for Dance Class and Workshops

  1. Always try to arrive on time if not a few minutes early to classes. (naturally there are exceptions.)

  2. Raise your hand if you have questions or wait until after class to ask the teacher.

  3. Silence your phone (with exceptions, for instance if you need to be on call for some reason)

  4. Do not correct other students form, choreography or technique while in class. That's my job.

    *You can help someone who asks for your help outside of class time.

  5. I may ask for your help at times in remembering a certain part of a choreoraphy.  I appreciate that help. But please wait to be asked.

  6. If you need to take a breather during a class or workshop for any reason there is no need to explain. Continue to pay attention to the class and don't browse your phone please. 

  7. Please No Touching. (It's hard to resist wanting to help a fellow student by voicing your corrections or physically manipulating someone. Although well meaning it can cause upset and confusion. *

  8. Bellydance class is a politics free zone!
