Shakira
loves to dance and is so happy that she fell into belly dancing way
back in 1989. Having recently moved out into the country and newly married
at that time she enrolled in a belly dance class at a local dance school
and the rest, as they say, is history. Going from student, to teacher,
to studio owner and fitness instructor has been a wonderful and enriching
evolution for Shakira aka Nancy. |

She
has become a well known and appreciated dancer in the area and now has
a devoted following of students who have joined her in performing at
local fairs and festivals. Shakira
continually challenges herself and her students to bring their skills
to a higher level, realizing that you never can stop learning. Studying
and enjoying every other dancer they see, they envelope all nuances
of the danceform into their interpretation. They appreciate and dance
to many music styles and their alternatives, whether it be cultural,
ancient, or modern, but of course they realize that Middle Eastern Music
beats truly to the heart of all belly dancers.
Meeting Shakira and the gang in performance or during a class is fun and rewarding and you will walk away with happiness and joy in your soul, and a new appreciation for the belly dance artform. It is their mission, as well as other modern belly dancers, to maintain the dance form as a practical fitness alternative yet also as a distinguished and exquisite form of dance expression whether it be called belly, oriental, earth, tribal, baladi or Middle Eastern Dance. Enter the world of Shakira’s Belly Dance Fitness never ever be the same again. |
