Belly Dance

Service Description

Raqs Resistance is more than a dance class — it’s a cultural journey through rhythm, memory, and identity. Taught through the lived experience of the Arab diaspora, our classes offer authentic, community-centered instruction in belly dance (Raqs Sharqi) and other MENA dance, honoring tradition while creating space for personal expression and decolonized embodiment. Belly Dance is proven to be beneficial for preparing the body for menstruation, child birth, and confidence. As a source dancer (Lebanese & Mexican) Amal is an Herbalist, Labor & Postpartum Doula, and Student Midwife all which informs her practice and teaching style. Join us in this powerful womb healing journey. At least 30% of proceeds are donated to those experiencing state sanctioned violence in the Middle East.
