What do you wear to bellydance class?
Pack a yoga mat and water. Slip into comfy attire— think yoga pants and a t-shirt for unrestricted movement. We recommend ballet slippers or jazz/zumba sneakers. If you've got a hip scarf and dance veil, toss those in too. Don't own a hip scarf? No worries, we sell them at the studio, and we can point you in the right direction to purchase dance veils.

Where is the studio located?
We are located at 1201 Raleigh Road In Chapel Hill. It can be tricky to find us, we are not in the Glen Lennox shopping center, we are next to it. We are behind Family Fare. Drive all the way behind the Family Fare gas station and you will see our building, the Hayes Building, Park in this lot. We share the building with Bread and Butter printing. We are on the second floor, suite 205.
