Genevieve is now living in Seattle, so there are currently no more classes in Boston. Stay tuned for more details! Cell number, email, and website will stay the same.

My aims for the classes:

• To be a source of positive thinking and discovery, especially about the human body and what it can do.
• To teach dance and movement as a practice.
• To teach musicality, rhythm, timing, interpretation, and making choices.
• To encourage people to carry what they learn into other areas of their lives.

Primarily, I teach a love of dance by sharing my belief that dance is one of the most nourishing and invigorating of the exercise forms and truly a beautiful art form. In each class, I emphasize good posture and body alignment, work on strengthening and toning all parts of the body - arms to feet, teach belly dance technique (I teach a mixture of styles – Egyptian, Turkish, and fusion), and introduce the music and rhythms of the Middle East.

I teach and perform with zills (finger cymbals), veil, cane, fan, and sword. Beginner classes usually will involve veil, with the other props introduced once essentials are learned.

I love to perform, so some part of my class always includes instruction on building your confidence in your movement and developing body and self-love (belly dancing helps you learn to love the body you have!). Finally, if you are interested in belly dance as a form of exercise, you will be pleasantly surprised at how it works your entire body. It’s a great low-impact workout.
