"Michelle is a beautiful and highly professional performer and instructor.
When I was searching for dancers to form a new dance company on the island, I immediately knew she was exactly what I was looking for. She is hard working and easy to work with, and can be counted on for all aspects of show presentation and production.
She is also very knowledgeable about Middle Eastern music and dance styles. Her dance style is graceful and elegant, and her natural smile always captivates the audience."

The Health Benefits of Bellydance for Women
Improves Muscle Tone
The natural movements of bellydance gently tone muscle groups in the abdomen, pelvis, torso, spine, neck, and arms while providing a low-impact exercise suitable for all ages and body types.
Develops Poise
Coordination, symmetry, and spacial awareness are aspects of bellydancing that help the body become more supple and graceful while learning to move beautifully and confidently.
Boosts Self-Esteem
The artistic and feminine movements of bellydance create positivity and freedom around sensual expression which liberates the dancer both physically and emotionally.
Relieves Stress
The repetitive swaying, circular, and flowing movements of bellydance form the basis of a dance meditation that helps clear the mind and induce a state of mental relaxation.
Reduces PMS
The soothing, massage-like movements of hip circles, figure eights, and undulations help alleviate congestion in the pelvic region by stimulating circulation and blood flow which helps create calm.
Conditions for Birth
Pelvic rolls and tucks in bellydancing naturally assist with pelvis relaxation while simultaneously strengthening the pelvic floor muscles for labor support and post-pregnancy recovery.
"Check it out. Michelle is great.
Helped my brain wrap itself around something my body does semi naturally (with a couple tweaks).
My head was getting in the way of my left hip, and I couldn't figure out how to do the movement. Turns out I could absolutely do the movement walking backwards, so once we figured it out she helped me do it standing still.
Mahalo plenty, Michelle"
