It’s never too late to achieve your dreams of becoming a dancer. I started at 19, and I am still learning and growing. I’ve had students start at 30, 40, 70… Most of us have put others before ourselves and now we are making the time to nurture our brains and bodies. I have dealt with illness, injuries, childbirth, and body image, and I can attest that dancing gives you stress relief, energy, grace, vitality, and sensuality. It is a wondrous healer!

My classes will expose you to the dances, music, and culture of the MENAHT (Middle East, North Africa, Hellas, Turkey). I also specialize in technique to reduce injury, building trust in your body through organic movement, and working your creativity using improvisation and dance composition. I take great care to provide detailed instruction and positive critique aimed to refine your dancing and develop your style. The mix of exercises, combinations, lecture, and dance games in each session make you a physically and mentally strong dancer, a dancer who is informed in real-world applications and the cultural and historical relevance of this dance genre.

When it comes to events, my focus is on “edutainment”— learning that is disguised as fun. I have had the pleasure of dancing at all types of events, from small to large, and especially enjoy teaching children and girlfriend gatherings.

Open your mind to experiencing the music and dance of another culture. Reconnect with your body after childbirth, injury, and changes from age. Grow your professional skills. Whatever it is and whatever your level, I would be honored to help you.

With love, Jasmine
