✤ ABOUT THE TEACHER ✤
Loréanne was introduced to traditional Egyptian bellydance at the age of 10. Even at that time, she felt like she was reconnecting to a dance she mysteriously already knew. As she entered adulthood, she developed her own teaching approach that emphasizes the state of being of bellydance rather than its aesthetic performance. She advocates balancing the rightness of movement with the rightness of heart to allow for a wholesome experience. Loréanne has taught in Guatemala and Quebec and is happy to offer various formulas according to what is needed: workshops, weekly classes, private coaching and more.
Happy dancing!
