      > Belly Dance Basics with Habiba:
       Glide across the floor with elegance as your frame your body with beautiful hand and arm movements, learn shimmies both soft and powerful, and hypnotic movements of the hips such as figure eights, mayas and undulations. Set to the exciting rhythms of North Africa and the Middle East, students will learn a fun choreography incorporating these techniques. Belly dancing is a great low-impact workout, suitable for beginners and dancers of all ages.

      BELLY DANCE - THE BEAUTIFUL WAY TO EXERCISE!

      "As one of the Belly Dance Divas and a student of Habiba's for 5+ years, I have to urge everyone to take at least one class. Your muscles will burn, sweat will run into your eyes and you'll feel like a freaking goddess the whole time. Habiba's a gem, and everyone should have the chance to experience her class!  "Sahar

      "I am also one of the the Belly Dance Divas and Habiba is such an amazing teacher! The classes are so much fun and she teaches in a way that makes it so easy to pick up the different moves. I echo Sahar's words and would urge everyone to give it a try!" 
      Jalilah 

      " Thank you so much. This movement is just what my body needs right now. The pace and attention to detail in your class were perfect. I'm looking forward to Thursday again already."  Mary
