I have an extra post this week. I made a video answering the three most common questions I get from potential students. I hope this encourages people to try belly dance! Please feel free to share this with friends who might interested :)
If you’re ready to give belly dance a try, my summer schedule is here!
If you are reading this in email, you can view the video here.
Please let me know if you have any other questions I can answer!
Happy Dancing,

Hello and Happy May!
I’m so excited for Summer classes to start! I’ll be teaching in person (YAY!) in both South San Francisco and Belmont. See all the details below!
Classes through the SSF Parks and Rec resume in person on Wednesday, June 2nd! The time for the Beginning class has shifted slightly to allow for safe passage in and out of the room for students between classes.
Beginning Belly Dance 6:45 - 7:45 PM
Intermediate/Advanced Belly Dance: 8:00 - 9:00 PM
This will be an 8-week session starting on 6/2. Registration is open now on the SSF Parks and Rec website. Click the ‘Music and Dance’ tab in the top row. Class size will be limited so please register early to secure your spot.
This is a NEW class! I am so excited to be teaching at the brand new Better Together Dance Theatre in Belmont. We are starting this summer with a 6 week session starting on Monday, June 21st:
Belly Dance Basics 6:00 - 7:00 PM
Registration is open now at the Better Together Dance Theatre website. Class size will be limited to keep us all safe, please be sure to register early if you would like to join us!
I am fully vaccinated and committed to maintaining a safe environment for all dancers. You can read about Better Together Dance Theatre’s COVID-19 policies here, and you can contact the SSF Parks and Rec office if you have any questions about their policies.
If you have taken an online class with me this past year, you are very familiar with this gold backdrop :). I really love it. But I honestly cannot find the words to express how excited I am to be able to step away from it and teach in person again. I’ve missed dancing with you all SO MUCH, and I can’t wait to get back into the studio. Thank you to everyone who has hung in there and kept dancing through all the technological challenges! I am so grateful that we’ve been able to keep it going.
Not ready to dive back in just yet? Sign up for my Newsletter to keep informed of future offerings!
SEE YOU SOON!!

Hello Dancers,
I’m not yet able to resume my usual blogging schedule, but I have a new quick practice video up on my YouTube Channel:
This is another quick fun video that you can dance along with to practice basic belly dance movements and get a feel for belly dancing without choreography. I am planning a series of these, and I will and them all to this Dance With Me Playlist on YouTube as I make them. You can subscribe to my channel to get alerts when new ones go up!
I am always happy to answer questions or help in any way, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Happy Dancing,
Alisa
Hello Beautiful Dancers!
As promised, I made a short practice video for anyone who misses dancing since we are on break this week. The video uses simple movements and plenty of repeats, but there is also some spontaneity because it’s improvisation. My hope is that it’s easy to follow and fun to dance to - please let me know your feedback.
Classes start next week and you can register online right now. We meet on Wednesdays, Beginning 7-8PM and Intermediate/Advanced 8-9PM, with class performances for those who want to dance on May 12th! See you next week.
