Classes
Learn the history of an ancient artform, express yourself through music and motion, and enjoy the many health benefits of dancing. Athena teaches both public and private lessons in the art of Raqs Sharki, during which she introduces students to the history of Middle Eastern Dance and demonstrates the body movements that make up the basis of Middle Eastern Dance.
Typically, public classes run in six (6) or eight (8) week periods, during which students will learn a variety of Middle Eastern Dance moves which can then be combined into a finished choreography.
Athena's classes are currently located at 14400 NW 140 St, Alachua, FL 32615.

MINI WORKSHOPS!!
Need a unique idea for a function?
Sponsor a private 3 hour Belly Dance Work Shop. It is great fun and the perfect exercise. This is a dance designed for women – all women, regardless of age, size, physical condition or coordination abilities. The study of basic techniques will include a choreographed dance routine. The cost is $25 per person. (Minimum 5, maximum 15 participants)
You would provide the location. Allow enough space for double arm’s width per dancer. (Athena can locate an appropriate place for a reasonable cost if needed.) Participants should dress in comfortable clothes, bring water and a hand towel. Athena will bring hip scarves for use in class. Scarves can be purchased for $20 if desired.
