Belly dance as it is taught in the Middle East, the Amina way
Learning to dance the Amina way is like the total immersion of a conversational language class. The grammar will come eventually, but Amina makes it easy for her students to dive in and pick it up as they go along. If they stick with it, students soon find themselves able to dance naturally and with confidence.
Amina has performed in both Middle Eastern and San Francisco clubs for many years and has been a member of the Belly Dance Hall of Fame since 1995. Amina is a San Francisco Belly Dance institution. As a teacher she has been sharing her knowledge with eager San Francisco dance students for over 35 years. If you have ever seen a belly dancer at a San Francisco club, chances are they studied with Amina.

The classes will immerse you in belly dance choreography and music from traditional to the latest crazes, cymbal playing, veil dancing, stick, saidi, dellae, debke. Amina also teaches the history and the culture - differences between Egyptian, Lebanese, Turkish and American style belly dance. Drumming, song translations, costume design, pot-luck video parties, workshops with visiting stars. . . are all part of the community experience available at Amina's studio.
