I don't have a weight problem, but can I tone my body?
Yes, we start with correcting posture, then we reduce abdominal fatty tissue, reduce fatty areas on both sides of hip, inside of legs, under lower buttocks, producing buns of steel. We strengthen and sculpture legs plus overall slenderizing, toning, and redistribution. Even fingers get a workout ridding fatty tissue and gaining digital flexibility.

I have health problems will this be an issue?
This dance is low impact lined with isometrics and yoga. I consider belly dancing to be the mother of all exercise as it dates to 4,000 or 6,000 BC. It is helpful for back problems, osteoporosis, arthritis, diabetics, early stages of incontinence, heart and circulation problems, menstrual and other female problems and so much more.

Is there an age limitation?
There are no age, weight, or special qualifications. Both women and men dance. It can be treated as an exercise program or as a dance art. Its uniqueness is moving the human body within its natural abilities.

Do you have children's classes?
We accept age 12 and above. There are many abstract terms that younger children do not understand.

Can my memory be improved?
Medical science says that we should learn something new to challenge our brain. Our brain needs to be exercised as well. It is my opinion that we forget because it was not important to us or we were not paying attention or we changed a habit. As we work on focus technique, we can improve our memory, mental discipline, and creativity.

Is belly dancing difficult?
Belly dancing is not hard as it works with the natural movements of the human body. But it can be frustrating because of the patience needed to learn a particular movment that we want instantly. Somethings just take time and practice.

I am clumbsy can I learn to be graceful?
You are female and that's a good starting point. As you do the steps grace and beauty are developed to define your feminine identification.

I'm shy and would like to be more comfortable around others, help?
We learn to focus in belly dancing because it is needed to control the muscle isolations that we perform. It is through this focusing process that we develop self confidence, self esteem and self worth. Having accomplished these qualities our minds have been stimulated for enthusiasm and zest for life which expands our global or spiritual thinking making it easier to meet new people, and acquire new friends and interests.

When will I be able to dance?
The students that are creative start dancing about the 11th month in restaurants and private parties. However, they continue their lessons as belly dancing has become competitive and you need to keep your skills refined.
