FILL IN THE BLANK WITH YOUR EXCUSE: “but I’m too ______ to try Belly Dancing!"

AND THEN READ THIS: new students are often afraid to try Belly Dancing for a variety of reasons: the negative (and incorrect) connotations associated with the dance, there’s nobody to try a class with, or they harbor a negative body image. Throw all of those excuses out the window, and allow yourself to have fun for just an hour a week! Raq-On Dance takes pride in its positive, supportive atmosphere. New and experienced dancers of all ages, shapes, sizes, and abilities are welcomed into a warm, encouraging environment that promotes higher self-esteem, positive body image, friendship, community, and fun. Many people come into the studio tired or hardened from a long day at work, and leave smiling, laughing, relaxed, and even a few inches taller. FMI visit: http://raq-on.net/

Hello All!

I've been posting more frequently on Amity Alize.

I am fortunate now that I own my studio space that I don't have to spend as much time hustling and marketing or running as many classes per week. Our mailing list and my personal dance page is where it is at.

We are still active and doing things, it's simply a gift to not have to be on social media as much. Join us anytime for scheduled classes, or ask for a private class or party anytime!

Dear Dance Community,

Patricia has been supporting the New England Dance community for a decade as the person behind the scenes taking registrations, organizing swag, doing the programs and show orders, helping at the festivals and workshops and shows, and more. Honestly, Raq-On would not have been able to do so much without her help. She is moving to be closer to family and leaving New England.

If anyone would like to do a traditional tip shower of the dancer but in 2026 style, Patricia's venmo is below.
