Who Can Belly Dance?
Anyone! You don’t need to have rhythm or look a certain way. There are so many benefits to belly dance. Best of all? It’s fun! The video here is teacher Karen showing Caitlyn how to do a hip drop.
These intro classes are for anyone who wants to move more in a fun way. All you need is something comfortable to wear - Karen even brings the hip scarves!

Dancing intimidated me, but Karen makes it fun! My hips and shoulders feel so much better after class, and I can tell it's helping with my core strength. Learning these techniques from Karen makes me want to dance more in my free time. And her playlists are great!

What a great class! Karen is a wonderful teacher with lots of patience. She manages to make you feel confident, even if you've never taken a dance class before. Add to that the lovely studio space at Heart Mind Healing filled with Caitlyn's kind spirit, and this is easily my favorite time of the week.

I loved taking the belly dancing class at Heart Mind Healing. As a beginner it was so comfortable to be in a small class environment to dance and learn some great techniques with Karen. I encourage anyone who wants to try this body freeing class to do it with Karen. She is so down to earth ,she is a great ,fun teacher and you learn so much in just one class. I have been doing the drills and exercises at home since my first class it's actually a great workout you burn serious calories! Karen talks about the history of belly dancing and how the body responds to the music and sense of beauty of the movement. I can't wait to continue my journey as this is a great lifetime activity that really anyone can do!
