”It felt like a mini-vacation. I really enjoyed the women who came and spiritually visiting a place I have never explored... :)” —Terri B.
”My friend and I had a wonderful time having "Midday at the Oasis." Jensuya and Bob were thoughtful, welcoming hosts who responded to our needs and interests, making a delightful experience that we will remember!” —Tabatha Y.
Denise's Review
My sisters and I set out to have an adventure. One of us had a bucket list wish, one of us had a milestone birthday and one was along for the fun. Jensuya and Bob were wonderful. They welcomed us into their studio and were so patient and encouraging. Not only did we experience a new way to dance, we also learned a few words in another language and were treated to some delicious new foods and a show! The music, the movement, the food, the laughter all made for a wonderful experience. Thank you both for making our day so fun and memorable. Beledi!”
—Denise L.
”Loved this! A friendly husband and wife team, musical accompanist and belly dance instructor, met us at their gorgeous country home with authentic food, dress, language lessons, travel stories, music and big smiles. Though of different fitness levels and body types, my friend and I both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and left excited, happy, surprisingly tired, and wanting to learn more. Bonus: we got to keep the jangly hip scarf for practice at home!” —Amanda L.
Here's What We'll Be Doing
Tea & Jingly Hip Scarfs
We open with a Moroccan-inspired tea ceremony as we tie on our complimentary hip scarfs and learn fun belly dance words in Arabic and Turkish.
Beat, Beledi & Basic Steps
Then we learn to belly dance! We start very simply so that even if you might think that you "have no rhythm," your body will be dancing before you know it. We learn the quintessential belly dance rhythm that Bob plays on the doumbek, and I teach you the basic steps of belly dance. We progress at a pace tailored for you as we build our dance with shimmies and undulating moves.
Bubbles & Bellies
Finally, we celebrate your new skills with a sparkling beverage (prosecco and/or our homemade soda) and Middle Eastern style refreshments as we give you a classic belly dance performance.
”What a joy you bring to so many who may not be comfortable with their bodies or with dancing in front of people. You show how natural it is to not just women, but men and families as well.” —Leslie S.
