Hello from Sacramento!

[Stephanie]

I am Stephanie from Sacramento, CA.

I haven't actually started taking classes yet, but I joined this forum because I am interested in learning more about belly dancing. It looks beautiful, fun, and like it's a great way to stay in shape.

Welcome, Stephanie! I saw your post and, as a Sacramento belly dancer, had to say hello and welcome you to the neighborhood

I'm not sure where you live or what style that you are interested in learning, but I teach group and private lessons plus workshops at the Firehouse #5 Dance Studio on Ninth Street, right downtown in the central city. I guess you could say my style is heavily American Classic Cabaret and classic Egyptian with some ITS and tribal fusion influence (lately, anyway, it's always evolving). I like to call it "classic Cairo on the cutting edge", for lack of a better and more accurate description. Anyway, I'm really big on technique and safety, and very big on giving lots of feedback and encouraging feedback and questions from students. My website is bellydancerjulia.com - there is also another website for Sacramento bellydancers called sacramentobellydance.net - it has most of the professional dancers and teachers listed. Feel free to message me with any questions - hope to meet you soon!
