I highly recommend the belly dance instructor, Salit. She is professional, cheerful, and pleasant, making the lessons an enjoyable and educational experience. The private lesson was tailored to my needs, and she conveyed her extensive knowledge clearly and inspiringly. There’s no doubt she is recommended for anyone interested in learning and growing in this dance!

I had a wonderful experience with SHEBA Belly dance school for the two lessons I took with them so far. The first was with Luana for the beginner class which was dynamic and easy to follow. She has a lively manner and keeps the class engaged.

The second class was the Air Elemental 4 Class taught by TiGi who put together combos in to a full choreo utilizing everything we learned throughout class. The choreo was inspired by the element of Air, so it was very flowy and fluid. We focused on the maya, chest circles and snake arms. The choreo was done to a song about a guy falling in love with a mermaid and he says she makes his heart beat to the drums. I loved that TiGi said to imagine we are the mermaid! She was very clear with steps for each move and was very uplifting and encouraging to everyone in the class. After filming choreo, we did a group circle where each person went in the middle to do some improv while we cheered them on. Class ended with a short cool down to stretch the body and I felt very energized after class! Definitely can recommend the school to anyone interested in bellydance!

Salit has been a wonderful guide to learning the foundations of bellydance! She is so sweet and has a great amount of knowledge and expertise to help you execute the moves correctly! Her class is not judgmental at all and you’ll feel like you’re right at home, thus helping you practice because you feel so comfy. She’s an awesome teacher, and there are several other awesome teachers at this company, so I highly recommend you try a SHEBA class!

I have gone to SHEBA Belly Dance NYC a few times in the last 8-9 months. I have done the beginner's belly dancing as a drop in with Kathyy and now in the beginner belly dancer series with Pelin. The instructors are great! The class is fun and goes by very quickly. And the way the moves are taught are palatable.

I took the Level 1 Introductory 6-week class and had a ton of fun. The instructor, Suleima, taught us a beautiful choreography. Her style of teaching is warm, welcoming, fun and engaging, and she added new elements each week such as poetry. She teaches you to draw from your own life experiences to connect with the music and dance, and to develop your own style and self-expression. The sisterhood developed amongst the other ladies in the class was very nice and everyone was so down to earth and accepting.

I organized my friends to do a group class here, and we all booked more than a week in advance. The school canceled the class the evening before and with no explanation. When we called, they didn't answer. We'd have appreciated a longer notice and clear communication. It's been a disappointing experience.

SUCH a great class! Christine was so open and patient. The class itself was a great workout. Definitely a bit sore the day after. This class will for sure become a regular part of my weekly routine.
