Layla bint Ali with her troop Traveler's of the Silk Road. We teach many styles of Belly Dance. From Classical American Style, Turkish, Egyptian, ITS, Tribal Fusion, Gothic, Indian, and recently a little bit of Hip Hop thrown into the mix. All of our classes include technique that is universal in Belly Dance moves. There is only so many ways to move the human body. We also specialize in creating choreographies that are particular to certain Belly Dance Genres. Whether creating dances that are mindful of their folkloric background or fusing different styles together we teach the history and differences in genres throughout our classes.
