Instruction Style
Dahlenas workshops are geared more towards experienced dancers, although even newer students should not shy away from trying a day or two. She teaches advanced techniques, choreography and props. Her classes are fun and she often teaches in a “follow the leader” style which is a great way to play with the techniques she goes over. Dahlena uses a wide range of musical style from very classical to very contemporary. Her knowledge of Middle Eastern culture and belly dance history is unmatched by any instructor I have ever met. Her workshops are a unique pleasure.

Not To Be Missed
In addition to excellent instruction, Dahlena also brings with her a fabulous merchandise table. She sells costumes, warm up clothes, hip scarfs, veils, DVDs, CDs, and all kinds of other fun belly dancer-y stuff! It’s worth stopping by just to check that out!!

I haven’t published an article in a while (sorry) because I am back in school now and quite swamped! I just wanted to post up a couple clips from YouTube of two of my favorite belly dancers. The first clip is of American belly dancer Dahlena whom I have had the greatest privilege of taking learning from in her fabulous workshops. The second two clips are of Fifi Abdou, a legendary Egyptian belly dancer of the golden era. I love the style of both of these dancers and hope you enjoy watching them and learning more about them!
