Beginners Belly Dance (all ages)
I started my journey 10 years ago. I fell in love with art of Middle Eastern Dance, and was the co~creator of The Goddess Coyle Belly Dance Troupe. I have danced everywhere, taught many many workshops and classes all throughout New England. With my Goddess Coyle Troupe, we created a play called " Reclaim the Goddess Within", which ventured on finding your inner goddess, through light and dark. I have been very fortunate to do many amazing things with this dance. I never intended to perform or teach, but funny how life takes you on a journey you never expected. With the Goddess Coyle, we ended up gravitating to helping women find their spirits again. We help young women be responsible with their sensuality, and provide a very supportive, loving atmosphere, to be creative, and go through like experiences. Come as you are all ages all body types.
Beginners Belly Dance is on Thursdays 6:30-8 PM. Cost is $15
Here's to the future, and what it may bring. Finding your passion, and living it. It is what life is meant to be…in my heart. I look forward to inspiring passions in your hearts, and creating a magical connection with you all. ~ Holly Ferreira
