Meet Our Teachers

We'd love to meet you!

Each teacher associated with the Central Bellydance School has a unique perspective and teaching style. They also specialize in different dance styles. Taking classes with lots of different teachers helps you develop a style, or voice, all your own and a more complete understanding of key concepts. Check out the different classes local teachers offer, and find a fit between your goals and their teaching styles.
