Private Lessons

One-on-one instruction provides the best learning experience. Private lessons are very flexible in nature and can be arranged on any topic.

The most common topics for private lessons are:

  • Technique breakdown, muscle by muscle
  • Arm and hand movements
  • Finger cymbals
  • Understanding of Arabic music including common rhythms
  • Integrating dance movement to music (choreography and improvisation)

All private lessons can be held in the exclusive Shahrazad Studio!

    "Two left feet, no rhythm, can’t carry a tune, but I love Lina’s dance classes. I’ve miraculously learnt some new dance steps, have increased my shoulder mobility, [and] strengthened my core thanks to Lina’s patience and dedication. An added benefit for me is less trips to my physiotherapist!"

    Rachel F - Dance student

    “Lina’s classes are always fun and she teaches in a way that really makes it “sink in”. I had been belly dancing for 6 years when I took her fundamentals classes to brush up on the basics. She really helped me to understand where the movements are coming from & her breakdown of the muscles used helped my dancing to improve in leaps & bounds.”
