Here is the new link to the Tahitian Workshop with Leolani 🙂

Could you guy post the day before when you plan to have a class. I keep missing them all for the last week.
I even upgraded this group to my top 10 faves so i see your posts first and even asked to be informed when you go live and FB is not doing its job.
I never seem to log into FB at the right time to get the necessary info.
Thank you so much❤️💋

Straight into your home. Stay safe and healthy.

Here’s the new link to Beginners Bellydance with Stefanya! Come dance with us online!

https://youtu.be/Ytgby8EpApc I would call this the cutest song of the 80’s. It’s a fun little jig.
Of course, there are not that many pictures of tap dancing, so I included other, what I call “traditional” dancing pics like ballet, belly dancing, and dancers from other countries. What I didn’t want were loud nightclubbers who danced to modern music.
It seems some singles from the album were released in ’85, so I used pictures from both years. Please note that search engines can be inaccurate and images can be mistagged with the wrong year. Images used were in the order of the search results. I don’t like to discriminate; I prefer this “mixed bag” approach.

🔥 Check out monthly Lambada and Zouk workshops at La Bellydance Academy!
🍎 Beginners welcome!
🤩If you’re new to Zouk, your first 9:30pm Lambazouk Class is FREE!
💃 See you this Wednesday.

Hi dancers, I thought I’d share here an event quite special, it is not in this studio but it involves belly dancing and the awakening of our sensuality.
It shall be magical! This Saturday.

Hi dancers, this is the full choreography for the Baba Karam dance in the Intro To Persian Dance Class. This session will be wrapping up this Sunday, but you can still come to learn the full choreography if you haven’t been to my class before. We will use this dance for future group performances. Come learn this dance just in time for Nowruz (Persian New year) this month!

Hey everybody! We recently added a lambada class at the studio Wednesday nights 9:30-10:30pm with a practice session after! It’s a great place to connect with people and let off some steam- no partner needed! JOIN US TONIGHT

Here's an awesome event that will be hosted at the studio in February! Reserve your spot today....https://www.facebook.com/events/1097645660417213/?notif_t=plan_user_joined¬if_id=1547155374438606

Hey lovelies- does anyone have the address for tomorrow?

Next 10th!

Devoted to world arts and culture the L.A. Bellydance Academy is a premier dance studio located in the heart of Los Angeles providing premium dance education for all ages and willing bodies.

The Los Angeles Bellydance Academy offers dance and music education for all ages and all skill levels. Focused on providing students with an environment that creates wellness, self expression, and an enthusiasm for life, the LABA utilizes a variety of cultural influences expressed in dance and music as a core foundation to the curriculum provided. Weekly instruction, workshops, and special events

are available now at the L.A. Bellydance Academy. www.LABellydanceAcademy.com

The L.A. Bellydance Academy finds its origin with Stefanya in the most unlikely of places– the capital city of the beautiful state of Kansas. This is where at the age of three she began learning how to dance at the local dance studio. It was her mother who enrolled her, her grandmother who would drive her, and her father who would show up at every show to video record. This once a week, sixty-minute tap and jazz dance class for kids expanded into a focused and disciplined study of classical ballet and contemporary American dance styles. During her young adult years, Stefanya participated in numerous regional and national dance competitions. While still in school, she was the winner of “Best of Show” at Termain Dance Convention national finals, receiving the highest score out of four hundred entries for a lyrical dance number which she choreographed and performed. She was also the recipient of numerous scholarships to study with professionals at studios in New York and Los Angeles. These experiences combined with her enthusiasm and drive led Stefanya to decide she would leave her hometown in Kansas and move to Los Angeles, California where she could refine her artistic skills and pursue a professional dance career. Stefanya’s training and specialty skills soon landed her a position as a cast member of the world famous Bellydance Superstars. She caught the eye of mogul Miles Copeland, the show’s producer, and was chosen from a 90-dancer audition in Los Angeles to join the touring company. Since her debut, she has performed in over eight hundred shows across twenty-five countries at the world’s most well-known venues for celebrities, dignitaries, and royalty. While performing her specialty act, dancing on stilts, Stefanya was also the troupe’s assistant director. Sharing the stage with memorable middle eastern dance artists such as Bozenka, Sonia, Rachel Brice, Zoe Jakes, Amar Gamal, and Jillina cultivated a deep appreciation for this ancient art form and a real need for Stefanya to share that with other dancers. After eight incredible years of world tours, Stefanya returned full time to Los Angeles with an intact passion for dance but new ambitions. In 2011, Stefanya founded The L.A. Bellydance Academy and started welcoming new students in a cozy studio located in the Pico-Robertson neighborhood in Los Angeles, California. This space was previously owned and operated by legendary dance artist Adam Basma. Stefanya and Adam Basma were introduced at the Beirut Nights dance competition that Adam sponsored in Los Angeles. Stefanya was the 2nd place winner and was invited to meet with Adam Basma in his Bazaar. This was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. The studio moved to the Mid-City Art Center in the summer of 2014 to provide a more spacious and comfortable experience for its dancers and students. The studio today offers an average of 20 classes a week taught by active professionals, private lessons, workshops, open houses, and different cultural events throughout the year. Stefanya also contributes to cultivating and spreading the legacy of legendary artist Adam Basma. Stefanya is a performance company member of the world-famous touring belly dance company, the Bellydance Superstars. This professional dance experience of over eight hundred shows in more than twenty-five countries provided Stefanya the tools and motivation needed to move forward passionately with insight and professionalism. She has produced multiple successful events, including “Allah Kushnir LIVE in Los Angeles”, “Club Bellydance L.A.”, and the “Arabic Arts Festival”. Stefanya’s goal is to unite dancers in celebration of truth and life through the love of dance. www.LABellydanceAcademy.com
