About Dansoleil Belly Dance

Thanks so much for inquiring about Dansoleil Belly Dance. We are located at Red Door Dance Studio in downtown Brentwood and offer a variety of belly dance classes for beginners to advanced. We also offer Sassy Pants Belly Dance Workout! for women who want to learn some belly dance movements with quite a bit of fun thrown in.

Belly dancing is the most interesting dance style I've ever been involved with, but what makes it so wonderful is that it is a style that invites all types of women to join in. I've seen women in their 60's WOW the crowds at festivals, and big, beautiful women win competitions. I've seen thin, tall, short, novice, advanced, young, elderly, whatever....I've seen it all. And each and every woman is applauded and supported in this style. It is truly wonderful.

This style also works many areas of the body besides the 'belly'. We are constantly using our buttocks to create isolations. We rely on the strength of our thighs to support us, are forever using our abs, arms, calves, and back muscles. We teach you to isolate the muscle groups to create the evocative movements so integral to this ancient dance. We sweat, we dance with grace...and sometimes without, and laugh a lot.


About Dansoleil Belly Dance

As your teacher I bring to you years of experience in the fitness industry. I was a personal trainer and instructor for 20 years, and a National Aerobics competition winner. As a belly dancer I have won 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in competitions, and have helped bring a troupe to first place in the Belly Dancer of the Year competition. I travel extensively, teaching workshops in Hawaii, and taking classes in such wonderful places such as Egypt, Greece and Turkey. I try to bring humor and serious technique to our classes, as well as culture and history of the dance. I am the head dancer at India 4 U, therefore offering my students a wonderful opportunity, rarely available through other studios, to perform in a professional setting.

We look forward to seeing you in class. Please email or write if you have any questions.

Class cards are now available at discounted prices.

What should I wear & bring?

We normally wear yoga style pants and any top you feel comfortable in. You need not show your belly if you're not comfortable. In fact, most women don't....a top that allows us to see your movement is preferable, but not required.

Be prepared to sweat. Bring a towel and a bottle of water.
