Join a bellydance class for many reasons -- fitness, flexability, fun, making friends, girls night out, pre or post pregnancy, and to find the true woman inside. My classes are a great workout for the mind, body and soul. Included in class is a warm-up, hip drill and dance instruction and choreography. We work on all aspects of dancing -- zils; props like sword, cane and veil; rhythms, bellydance history and movement with combinations and choreography. Be prepared to sweat! Contact me above for more information and to join a class.

Almaazah is available for professional seminar instruction in USA and Canada. Please contact her directly for rates and availability.

Almaazah has relocated to Vancouver, Canada for the summer of 2005. Please contact her directly for a guest teaching schedule.

Amanda Braziel, a former student of Almaazah's from Austin, Texas, wrote and had published a very informative and enjoyable article on bellydancing. Bellydancing Raks!

"She truly epitomizes the "sisterhood" feeling of bellydance, providing a common ground of music and movement that forged a bond of dance and friendship between all of her students. She has extensive knowledge of the history and various styles of bellydance, as well as of the music, rhythms, culture and costume surrounding it. Whether we worked with zills, canes, veils or swords, whether dancing alone or in a group, Almaazah was able to provide expert guidance and choreography for her students of all skill levels. Almaazah has given me a base of dance skills, confidence and knowledge that will serve me well, no matter where (or with whom) I study, and a friendship I will cherish for the rest of my life. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking to further (or to begin!) her bellydance abilities." -- Dana Boyd, Advanced Student
