Belly Dance

Belly dance is a beautiful dance form which draws on dances from around the world. People of all body types are comfortable learning belly dance. You will also get a great workout in each Belly Dance class.

Our instructor, Nancy Goings (a.k.a. Nashira), has been involved in Middle Eastern dance for nearly 30 years. She has been a member of Troupe Ta'Amullat in Ann Arbor since 1977. Nancy has taken workshops from many well known dancers in the US and Canada and has traveled to Morocco and Turkey to study ethnic folk dances.

Nancy has taught Belly Dancing for Rec & Ed for nearly three years. She says that she "loves getting new students started on the path to loving this form of dance as much as she does."

Here's what Nancy's students have to say about Bellydance:
