Theresa T. -Google Review

Seriously, if you want to learn belly dance -- whether a beginner wanting to dip a toe in (watch out, it's addictive) or an experienced dancer wanting to polish his/her technique, this is the place to go. Ziah has trained some of the country's top belly dancers, and her instruction is not just for tribal-style dancers! And if you're looking for family-friendly, polished entertainment, this is the place to call and the group to see.
