Belly Dance in San Francisco

A belly dance class with Stephanie is designed to meet the needs of both beginning and more experienced belly dancers. Through posture, isolation technique, strengthening and conditioning, you learn the fundamental movements that are essential to the art of belly dance. With an emphasis on tribal fusion, Stephanie also incorporates combos, layers and traveling. Belly dance is truly for everyone & all are welcome to attend.

Stephanie Ann is a sassy southern lady, who in addition to a simmering shimmy, boasts the best bowl of cheese grits in SF! A dancer, vocalist & lover of the stage since childhood, Stephanie began studying tribal fusion belly dance with Gwyn of Bodhicitta BellyDance (Nashville) in 2006. She is an original member & previous co-director/instructor/soloist with Bodhicitta, and currently performs and co-teaches with Jill Parker and The Foxglove Sweethearts. She also regularly performs with RockaBelly, and as a solo dancer.

Always a student Stephanie currently studies with Kamille (RockaBelly) and Mary Ellen Donald (finger cymbals, Middle Eastern drumming). Stephanie has spent time in the dance classroom with Zoe Jakes, Cera Byer, Ariellah, Rachel Brice, Kami Liddle, Rose Harden, Mardi Love, Fat Chance Belly Dance, Mira Betz and Nanna Candelaria.
