powerful way. --Myrna

enthusiasm is contagious. After a class with Leela, I feel like I can be good
enough to perform someday! --Trish Devine

and natural dancer and she is always kind, patient and fair with her

I've been dancing my teacher Amara for about 8 years. She's been a huge part of my life not just
because of her incredible skill and ability to break down and explain moves, but her support has helped me build
confidence in myself outside of dance. -- Amanda

techniques and moves every time I watched her dance. -- Emily

Elizabeth takes apart moves and drills the component parts. Her drills are a good
workout then the sequential parts are seamlessly woven together to create beautiful
choreography. She is also strong in teaching skills for successful improvisation.
Also she is just the sweetest most wonderful person to know! -- Heidi

feel more like a dancer. She stretches me and lovingly encourages me
to be the best I can be! -- Jessie

teacher! She encourages all of us in the class, no matter what age,
shape or size. Very inspirational and fun! -- Milena
- I studied with Angelika Nemeth for several years (although not recently). Her style to me is classy, fun,
sensual and dramatic. I learned so much from her that I can still hear her voice in my head when I teach my
students. She is full of knowledge and I love that she teaches this to her students. She will always be an
inspiration to me! -- Marlena
Politti is a fabulous teacher and performer. She manages to combine the technical aspects of dance with the creative

Angela Buttrey - Angela is a dynamic teacher, experienced in many forms of danse oriental, so full of joy and soul when
she dances and teaches. You can learn the steps of belly dance from almost anyone but learning to dance with that joy in
your step is what Angela is able to teach. -- Natalie
- It's hard to choose just one! But I'd have to say Krisha is, because she's my first teacher, and was very
influential in my life. -- Faizeh
I would like to suggest Sedona as an instructor of the month. She is an amazing teacher and dancer who gets so little
recognition. Her students are all amazing dancers because of her. Even students that move into her class after having
had other classes, grow leaps and bounds. It shows in their performance, in their repertoire of moves, and in their stage
presence. Sedona is a fabulous instructor. -- Blume Bauer
- Baheyya was trained and worked in Cairo, Egypt and her style is definetly powerful with ultra modern egyptian
flare, she brings Cairo to L.A. In class she gives you an individual attention and gives you dynamic combinations
and choreography and the technique movements of how it is excuted it's big challenge for me!... but she is an
excellent teacher! -- Yumi

glad I found her. The class atmosphere is relaxed, but you'll work up a sweat. Everyone is really
friendly, and we have a great time. -- Martha

to easily convey her knowledge, passion, and joy of belly dance on to her students. -- Teresa

sensual. I love the feeling I get from her classes and her style of teaching makes me feel like I am just
hanging out with my sisters. Love her! -- Camilla
