Belly Dance Instruction by Mara

You too can learn the beautiful art form of belly dance! Oriental dance is a wonderful low-impact exercise that is great for women of all ages and sizes.

The benefits of belly dance can include body toning, increased energy, improved posture, and increased self-esteem. 

Mara's belly dance lessons include isolations, shimmies, undulations, improvisation, and choreography.

Wear comfortable clothing for exercising and stretching.  No, you do not have to show your belly, and hip scarves are fun but optional.   

NOTE:  Due to the demand for the beginning belly dance class in Anaheim, Mara has added a new class in Anaheim Hills! Remember to register early to guarantee your spot!

Note to Former Santa Ana Students:
Mara has enjoyed teaching you in Santa Ana for the past 3 years.  A matter of scheduling and geographic convenience has made it necessary for her to move her Thursday class to the East Anaheim Community Center, and you are welcome to continue receiving Beginning Belly Dance instruction from her at this new location.  Those of you who prefer the Santa Ana location will undoubtedly be in good hands with the new Santa Ana instructor, Marlena.

PRIVATE LESSONS

Private lessons are a great way for students to develop advanced skills, learn specific techniques and receive more personal attention.  Advanced techniques such as veil work, sword balancing, finger cymbals, etc. can be taught.  Private lessons are tailored to the individual needs of the students.  For more information, email Mara.
