Alisa is the best dance teacher I’ve ever had. I wanted to try belly dancing for years but did not feel comfortable enough, since every intro dance class I had taken always left me struggling to keep up. I took the plunge and tried her beginners class—-it was the most supportive and inviting dance environment I’d ever joined. Alisa teaches technique in an easy-to-follow way and highlights safe (and beautiful!) ways of moving your body. She is encouraging and radiates positivity. It is obvious that she has a deep passion for the belly dance art form, and this comes across in every session. I love learning from Alisa, and if you’ve ever wanted to try belly dancing, I would recommend you try it in her class!
