Got Questions? Here are some answers!

~~ What to wear? Wear comfortable clothes (leotard or shorts, as you please) ~ and a shawl or hip sash to tie across your hips. This helps you to see the hip movement/isolations very clearly. Shoes? We dance bare foot or with 1/2 soles.

~~ Will belly dance / tribal dance help me:
lose weight?
be a better person?
live happily ever after?
There are no guarantees….. but the dance will give you a new body awareness, tone muscles and give you a mental lift that comes from doing something pleasurable that is both psychologically and physically beneficial for you. One of my students recently told me; 'I wait all week to come here! I wouldn't miss it for anything!' I like to think we are her stress reliever - her diversion from everything else.

~~ Can a themed mini workshop be arranged for a party? Birthdays, Bridal Showers, or just an excuse to pamper yourself and your friends! Zymirrah will come to you. A 75 minute belly dance themed class with entertaining activities can be planned with your special party in mind! Call for Rates.

~~ Are private classes available? Yes, private instruction can be arranged. The fee is $60 per 75-minute session. You can save $40 when you buy a package of 4 classes for $200. Private classes are held in my dance space, located near the intersection of Memorial @ Shepherd.

~~ Can classes be arranged for my group? Yes, Zymirrah can come to you! A weekly structured class can be designed for your group. Rates negotiated based on number of students, length of commitment and travel time.

~~ Do I have to be a certain body type to dance? I often hear people say 'I am too big to belly dance' or 'I am toooo skinny to belly dance- I have no belly' ~~ both statements are 100% wrong. These dance forms are for everyone.

~~ How big are classes? All our classes are small. This allows everyone to get personal attention and feedback as they progress.

~~ Will this hurt my knees or my back? This is a very low impact activity. The body/muscle awareness, strength and posture exercises can help strengthen your problem areas.

~~ Will I break a sweat?
Yes! ( oops! I meant NO! ... ladies do not sweat! )

~~ Will it be fun? YES!
