Thread: teachers/studios in los angeles area?

Hi everyone,

I'm moving to L.A. in September to start grad school at UCLA. I've been dancing for 4 years and have worked on and off in some of the restaurants in Las Vegas.

Can anyone suggest any studios or teachers I should check out when I move?

Thanks very much!

Marisa

visit the webstite: LA Raqs - Los Angeles Belly Dance for events/workshops/haflas/classes also GROW YOUR DANCE at DanceGardenLA, offering bellydance, salsa, flamenco, hip hop, ballet & more.... is a good studio with zahra, aubre, princess farhana, nasila and others teaching there and Tamra-henna * Middle Eastern Dancer is Tamra-Henna's website with her class info

Welcome to LALA LAND :)

oh haha and EVOLUTION DANCE STUDIOS 818-754-1760, this is Jillina's studio and one of her dancers denise teaches there.... I laugh because i am working here right now and forgot to mention it....LOL

Wow, you have a lot of choices. And congrats on UCLA!! I went there for undergraduate and so glad. Go Bruins!!
There is also the MECDA website teacher directory at: http://mecda.org/directory/MECDA_Directory_09.pdf
Welcome to Southern California and Good-luck!!

LA is a great place for bellydance opportunity. I highly recommend both Princess Farhana and Mezmera. Miriam in West LA is also great, if she is still teaching.
