“Belly dancing is much more fun than I expected. I didn't know how much I would respond to the music, as I had never listened to that kind before. I love how easy it is on the joints. Even with recovering from back and neck issues, I am able to confidently do the moves. I ALWAYS feel great after class - my body has moved, my spirit is lifted and I've laughed with fellow students! It's great to escape for an hour and totally concentrate on dancing.” ~ Claudia W. Vann, dance class participant. Click here to read more testimonials about Belly Dance for Wellness class.
