"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

Boosts Self-EsteemThe artistic and feminine movements of bellydance create positivity and freedom around sensual expression which liberates the dancer both physically and emotionally.
Relieves StressThe 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.
