PRIVATE BELLY DANCE INSTRUCTION FOR BEGINNERS

Officially known as Raks Sharki, belly dance is an ancient dance form, originally thought to have started in the middle east where women danced in private for each other; it is also possible that some of the movements originated to help women during child birth. Belly Dance movements help the body (and mind!) become more flexible, strong, and graceful.

Private classes are customized to the level, interest and abilities of each student. Please wear comfortable, form-fitting clothing and bring a hip scarf. For more information, please contact Rachel through Holeco Medi Spa.

Rachel has been dancing all her life, and in 1997 fell in love with the fluid, graceful movements and music of belly dance. She is trained in classic Turkish and Egyptian cabaret styles and began performing and teaching belly dance professionally in 2002. Currently Rachel trains and performs with the Saffron Dance Studio in Arlington, VA.
