Bellydancing since 1997, as an instructor Teresa's classes are based on what she's studied of Tribal Fusion stylings and include learning moves, combinations, choreographies, costuming, and spiritual aspects of cultural dance styles such as Arabic, Egyptian, Gypsy, Spanish, Bhangra, Tribal, and more. As a Massage Therapist her knowledge of how the body works helps students get more from their moves through stretching. Most important in learning bellydancing is having FUN while accepting and celebrating femininity in all of its shapes and sizes. Classes are a great way to get fit, have fun, relax, and connect with your sensuality.
