GET MORE OUT OF EVERY DANCE CLASS YOU TAKE, AND MOVE WITH GRACE:
Elizabeth Dennis has worked hard to make learning belly dance as clear and simple as she can. As a result of
teaching countless private lessons she has developed the ABCs of Belly Dance, and Bellydots in Motion, two highly
effective (and fun!) movement formats that help your mind and body learn dance movements deeply, easily and healthfully.
THIS BELLY DANCE FUSION STYLE INCLUDES
Jazz - for funkiness
Ballet and yoga - for strength and alignment
Belly Dance - for torso awareness, hip agility and grace
Flamenco - for spice and passion
ABOUT ELIZABETH: Elizabeth's dance background includes 17 years of teaching
and performing Fusion Belly Dance. She holds a current Level 2 certification
with the Suhaila Salimpour School of Dance and won first place in the
Belly Dancer of the Universe Competition, Tribal Solo category, 2006
