I have over 30 years of experience in performing, teaching, choreography, and producing Belly Dance shows and events. I have many students who have gone on to become professional dancers and several of them living in Tokyo and other parts of Japan now have their own schools.
I am also a credentialed English teacher with many years of experience teaching junior high, high school, and college students as well as adults.
I love Oriental Dance and I enjoy showing others the authentic dance done in a classic style. My favorite is actually teaching Beginning students because I want them to know more about Middle Eastern culture in addition to steps and movements. Belly Dance is a cultural dance and I am half Lebanese, so I like to share my culture with others.
I understand the music particularly well. Because I am a trained teacher, I really know how to explain the movements and techniques so that students can understand easily. I think my strongest points are music interpretation, choreography, and teaching performance skills.
DANCING PHOENIX is conveniently located just five minutes on foot from the south exit of Nakano JR station. Zoom lessons also available.
