My workshop philosophy: Tribal? Cabaret? Not sure? Rockin' your own style? As a dancer who enjoys many styles of bellydance, I am commited to bringing teachers to the Asheville area who any dancer can benefit from. I have seen each of these dancers perform and their skill level and training will be of use for any dancer of any style.
