March Madness@Najlas Dance Renewal Reconnection & Rhythm

March is almost here and I am noticing and feeling the signs! The air is softer, promises of spring, longer days and the gentle quiet awaking in my body!

First off, March is a great time for renewal through movement while we shake off and shed the heaviness of winter and reconnecting to joy while remembering that our bodies are not something to fix but to celebrate!

This month we move with more energy and intention in our bodies. Moving together and always moving with heart!

March is the perfect time to:

Reconnect to your body, hips & core
Improve balance & posture
Boost your energy through movement
Releasing tension and stress that gets stored in the body
Rebuilding strength
To Feel better and lighter while having fun

Our classes are designed for adult beginners or those returning to movement who are looking for a supportive and judgment free space. No experience is needed. You do not have to be flexible.

All you need to do is just begin and getting started is the hardest step!

Finally; Bellydance will not only give you confidence from the inside out! It will help with your core stability, Feminine strength, emotional release and self expression without words.

Belly dance is NOT about performance but more about being presence. And you can start at any age! This is what I love!

Move with Heart Love

StickyJanuary 28, 2026 najla

Move with heart & Love for February at Najla’s Dance & Hip Love Studio will be focusing on moving with heart & love for the month of February. I would love it if you to joined us whether your a past student and its been a bit or brand new!

I believe that the most important person to love is to begin with you. You can’t fill others cups up if you do not give yourself the love and support to yourself first. I know it’s hard trust me it took me all my life to finally start learning this! I am here with you and can help you.

The Theme for the studio this month is: Moving with Heart & Love.

Reconnecting to your body with kindness, trust and compassion through Bellydance, Barre and other movement & fitness classes we offer.

Through all of my years being in the dance and fitness industry (Over 32 years). I often have found students who enter my studio are carrying things such as; stress, self-judgment or a complicated relationship with our own bodies; I am including myself in this. All of my classes are about you to feel; not perform.

I love to:

Celebrate movement as a way to love ourselves along with empowerment through fitness & dance and when you move you feel better. Movement is medicine and most importantly you only have one body and I can help you. The first step is always the hardest but you will be glad you took the time to take it.

So with February being the month of love it is the perfect opportunity: to honor and love yourself and your body, diving deep within our own connection along with connecting to others.

Our goal to Move with Love

First. we provide everyone a space allowing you to come as you are and move with love.
Allowing each student to feel supported and celebrated
Strengthen connection not perfection
Helping you to celebrate your power through movement
To be where you are at authentically and at your own pace
Moving with confidence
Strength can be soft
Lastly, to be able to Listen and honor your true authentic self

Futhermore at Najla’s Dance & Hip Love Studio we move with Kindness, Intention, Community and always moving from the heart. The only thing you need is a willingness to just show up!

I am looking forward to moving and dancing with you! I hope you join me.

Belly Dance is for everyone no matter the age

StickyJanuary 9, 2023 najla

Belly Dance is for everyone no matter the age. It is just one of the very few dance forms where you can say that…actually it may be the only; one more specifically if we are talking about advancing to professional level but lets not focus there.

Over my years of being a belly dancer myself of just now 23 years; I have heard oh I am too old or she is too young, or belly dance for kids? I believe I have written about this a time or too but it has been on my mind a lot more recently. I have had discussed this countless of times with current students, soon to be students about the topic. In general, most of the women believe that they are too old for belly dance….what qualifies for too old??? You have got me!!! But, generally speaking I am going to guess that society suggests on average if you are over 30; your too old…this is far from true!

I myself have had the privilege to teach all women from the age of 3-98! I know it is truly crazy that it can be true but WoW all of these women have amazed me! The average age of women stepping into there first class is age anywhere from 40-50, then we do have those exceptions of course, taking their first belly dance class beyond 75 and up!

Have you thought about trying out classes and then thought, but I am too old? Have you suggested it to someone a friend and you got that are you kidding me look? No matter what I am here to tell you that belly dance is for everyone!

Benefits of Belly Dance for 40 & up (benefits everyone!)

it is a low impact workout so it is easier on your joints & bones.

the movements tend to be natural flow (side to side, up and or down, forward & back, in & out).

It helps with coordination and balance.

Helps with posture and to keep the body strong.

Helps keep the body flexible & agile.

It is fun, promotes confidence & well being

Provides time for community with others while learning.

Helps keep the brain young by learning & remembering moves & steps.

These are just some of the amazing benefits! Plus and this is a BIG ONE!!! It just makes you feel Good! We all love to dance and wiggle around! “When you Wiggle. It makes you Giggle!” (My Mantra).

Benefits for All Keep Reading:

We all want to feel good in our bodies and feel good about ourselves! Belly dance increases confidence, self esteem and you will feel better on the whole just not with you, your body, but outlook on life. This dance really teaches us so much more then dance. You get to share with others, create friendships and lasting memories. I provide a space for all women where you can come and just be you. That has always been my #1 vision. I will teach you how to move your body, with love & grace. To move freely, to connect to your most powerful self that has been laying dormant inside you. To help you to feel better, to be more confident in yourself, to help you grow & bloom. To have fun, community, movement & connection. I currently have classes for ages 4 all the way to adult.
