"I’ve been taking private and group classes with Suzanna for over four years. She’s such a supportive mentor and friend, but she’s not afraid to push you to be your best. More than once, someone has mentioned that her classes are quite a workout, but they are also always a heck of a lot of fun. Suzanna attracts people to her classes who are beautiful inside and out. And as a result her classes always seem to naturally turn into a genuine, diverse, and lively community. She is seriously and passionately dedicated to promoting the art of Middle Eastern dance and its music and to sharing it with others. She’s also a terrific and beautiful performer.”

Since 2004, I have taught the full spectrum of traditional belly dance, synthesizing decades of worldwide study with renown Middle Eastern dance and music artists. Through RakasaFit™ I also offer intense training to improve posture, stamina, fluidity, and strength through belly dance, which has widespread health benefits and significantly improves belly dance technique! Also, as noted above, there are some topics that encompass any style or even any performing art form, to which I bring my expertise and experience in theatre and multidisciplinary training in jazz, ballet, West African, contemporary, etc. And for those who seek growth through performance, excellent performance opportunities are available.
