Think you are not good enough to dance?  Think again.  Think you had to start dancing when you were 5 years old to have any fun and be any good at it?  Again, not true.  No rhythm?  That can be learned, really. :) We are a friendly, low stress group of dancers that want YOU to come have fun with us.   There will be line dances and couples dances taught and it will be easier mixed with harder lessons. You may be intimidated at first and feel challenged, but the good thing is, there are a lot of r …

(Please note: This is a women-only gathering) Ancient Belly Dance was once a sacred, sensual dance, made by women for women, to honor and invoke the mysteries of life. It was a space for women to safely express their wild beauty and desires, and sacred emotions of joy, sensuality and even grief. The ancient dance was a pathway to invite and channel the Divine, and prepare and celebrate a birthing mother-to-be. I teach ancient belly dance as an embodied spiritual practice of sensual movement, med …

I have been wanting to get back into dancing regularly, so I'm hoping to start a group of experienced dancers who could rent a studio space and take turns leading a modern technique class. The benefits would be a cheap class, a low-stress chance to practice teaching, and a community of people who would provide some accountability for getting to class! If you are not (yet) comfortable leading a class, feel free to join because it won't hurt to have some extra bodies helping with rent and dancing …

Kizomba is a beautiful and sensual partner dance, originally from Angola, which is taking the world by storm. For experienced dancers, it is an exciting breath of fresh air. The basics are comfortable to slip into, yet, the dance is challenging enough to keep anyone dancing it for years to come. This also makes Kizomba perfect for anyone wanting to enter the world of dance. A beginner can enjoy the pleasure of social dancing much quicker than with other types of partner dances. Kizomba was deriv …

The one thing I love about country folks is they're a friendly bunch. Whether you're new or old to country, they welcome you as if you're an old long time friend they haven't seen in awhile, and visit wi …
