In Abbotsford

Ahmileena's Tribal Fusion Belly Dance classes embrace learning techniques, combinations and choreographies with the costuming, cultural and spiritual highlights of dance styles such as Arabic, Egyptian, Gypsy, Tunisian, Spanish, Bhangra Fusion and American Tribal Style. Props are also included (zils, veils, swords, baskets...). As a Massage Therapist, Ahmileena's knowledge of how the body works combines well with dance in helping students gain more in their moves. Belly dancing is an accepting environment, celebrating femininity in all its shapes and sizes, focusing on radiating the beauty from within. Classes are fun, a great way to get fit, relax, play with and explore this ancient dance form, and connect with your sensuality. Contact Ahmileena directly for more information and to register for Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced Classes. Email her at ariannas@shaw.ca, or phone 604.792.8923 to register.
