A World of Dance, Just for You
Whether you have belly dance experience and are looking to refine your skills, or someone who’s never danced before but craves joy, movement, and confidence - you’re in the right place.
Looking for a Little More Joy & Connection?
Life pulls us in many directions. Routines pile up and, before we know it, we forget to move, play, and might just not feel at home in our own bodies. Maybe you…
- Want to feel feminine, graceful, and confident again.
- Feel like your body “can’t” move that way.
- Struggle with consistency — starting but stopping often.
- Love dance but don’t have local classes nearby.
- Want to dance, but feel shy, unfit, or think it’s “too late” to start.
- Wish you had a creative outlet that lifts your mood.
- Already belly dance, but feel stuck without guidance, structure, and fresh inspiration.
💖 That’s when dance can change everything!
No matter your starting point, you desire to feel confident, joyful and connected with your body.
The BellyDance Land Experience
That’s where the BDL Online Studio comes in.
I created this membership to give you tools, classes, and community that will lift your spirit, reconnect you to your body, and help you dance with elegance and joy - whether it’s your very first shimmy or your hundredth performance.
Here, dance isn’t about looking perfect — it’s about feeling amazing while you move. It’s about learning step by step, celebrating your progress, and having fun along the way (yes, laughter is encouraged 😄).
Through graceful moves, playful practice, and uplifting energy, you’ll reconnect with your body, your creativity and your joy, one circle at a time.

What my students are saying
Also, your full choreography video for Fusion Class is JUST FANTASTIC! I have been using it to work on the sections that I'm still struggling with, and it is SO helpful! Having the skirt AND no-skirt versions was such a good idea! It has answered so many questions! I hope other students are using it because I know it would be helpful to them as well. Now, I just have to keep practicing!
You’re such an awesome dancer and teacher, lots of smiles. I missed it. If you have more online dance video practice, I’ll subscribe. I've always loved your dancing.
I enjoy your teaching and your choreographies. They have a rhythm that I just feel and once I get in the groove it’s so satisfying and so much fun! You break things down so well and make sure no one is left behind. Your teaching style is light-hearted, loving, encouraging, elegant, buoyed by your good sense of humor.
