Belly dance? Why?
We all lead such busy lives these days. As women, our attention is drawn in so many different directions. It's easy to lose yourself in all that you must get done on a day to day basis. It can leave you feeling frazzled and worn out. You've got to recharge your batteries in order to stay healthy and take care of every thing without going bonkers.
What if there was a way to "get back" a little bit of "YOU" each week? Something that you can look forward to. Something that makes you smile (or even chuckle : ) every time you think of it.

Belly dance classes can help you:
Relieve STRESS.....Belly dance is a fabulous stress reliever. It's a great way to energize and change up your workout to help keep it from becoming the same old routine. It's fun and doesn't quite seem like exercise.....ohhh, but it IS! You'll sweat, but it's the kind of exercise that makes you feel great. Or maybe you don't have a routine and you'd like to do something to improve your physical fitness and emotional well-being. It's low impact, easy on the joints and is appropriate for all ages, shapes, sizes and fitness levels. Feminine curves are a plus!
Do something just for YOU.... For all that you do, you deserve a treat don't you? For just one hour a week you can "check" all of your aggravations at the door of our studio space. Come on in and recharge with the sounds of glorious music. Meet new friends or bring some along. When you leave....you just might find that you leave those aggravations right where you left them.....at the door.
Find a sense of accomplishment.... Belly dance is a challenge. However, the movements are already inside of our bodies. We just have to let our brains get out of the way. I'll teach you how! You'll learn a variety of movements and how they fit together to make dances. You'll learn a totally different and natural way of moving. Early on, you'll begin to feel (and be) stronger in your middle (and all over). Your posture will likely improve and you'll have a great feeling of accomplishment that will help carry you through the week. You might just find your inner goddess too! She's in there. Let her out : )

Not sure if belly dance class is for you? See what these ladies have to say about Heather's classes......
"I'm really enjoying this freedom. (Your classes) are a complete and utter outlet to my daily grind. Not so much that I have a stressful life, but more that I have a controlled life. Taking belly dancing lessons would have been the last thing in my life I thought I would ever do. but its the least restricting thing I have ever done. It makes me feel pretty again". Thanks, Susan P.

“Belly Dance classes are fun and just what I needed to help develop my self-confidence. The earthier “Improvisational Tribal Style” classes have given me new insight on the art form and has proven that there are no boundaries regardless of age. Anyone can do this!! In addition, I’ve found a fun way to maintain a healthier life style and definitely a happier way of weight management. I’ve also fulfilled a dream. It keeps both my mind and my body moving. I learn something new with every class and am always greeted with enthusiasm and encouragement. Most importantly, I have gained new friendships with a group of ladies of common interest that are supportive and great fun to be with.” ~ Phyllis Teels
