Frequently Asked Questions
What should I wear to a belly dance class?
Wear comfortable clothing that allows for easy movement. A fitted top, leggings, and a hip scarf (i give them out at class) are ideal. No need to show your belly if you do not want to. Bare feet are recommended, but soft dance shoes or socks are also fine. Have a look through my instagram page to see what other girls are wearing.

Is Belly Dance for women only?
Belly dance is an inclusive art form open to everyone, regardless of gender. However, my classes are limited to females only, as many of my students wear hijabs and feel more comfortable in a women-only environment. This ensures a safe and supportive space for all participants.
