a little heads-up, loves... spots are filling up quickly, and registration may close earlier than our November 10 deadline!

✨ Take a little peek inside the JBelly Collective!

We’re bringing together so much more than dance classes this season. Guest artists, specialty workshops, technique, cultural education, artistry, community, and SO much more. All part of your Collective experience! 💗

Once our Performance Paths reach capacity, registration for those routines will close.

If you’ve been thinking about joining us, don’t wait too long! I would LOVE to dance with you this season.

And if you want to train but are are far away the Learning Track could be a great option for you!

💌 Questions? Text me! Let’s chat.

Apparently I smile with my entire body. 😂

Thank you Essence of Belly Dance for such a beautiful weekend! ♥️ So much love, joy, dance, and incredible energy all around. It’s always so special getting to share space with this community, reconnect with old friends, make new ones, and just DANCE so close to home!

✨ A little Kiss with my NYC fam 💋 Between forgetting the choreo, running out of time, and literally blowing kisses to the person kicking us out of the room… I’d say we nailed it. 🤣❤️
