I love the changes of seasons and what fall brings! It’s the opportunity to slow down, reconnect and to get back to a rhythm after a busy summer.
September gives us the opportunity to find movement again as we often have more time and less going on. Plus movement helps to connect back to ourselves.
Falling for movement is our theme at Najla’s Dance and September is a great time to start.
Whether you’re looking for the creativity of belly dance, the strength and energy of Barre Fitness, the mindful movement of Pilates or Yoga, or a combination of classes, there’s a place for you.
No experience is needed in any of our classes as we want everyone to have an opportunity to move in their body. You do not need to have rhythm, be flexible, strong or not know how to dance!
Movement is not just about exercise or getting stronger its an opportuntiy to connect, breath, giving ourself space, to be surrounded by others, feeling good. I hope you join me to maybe experiance something new or come back to movement if it has been awhile and fall in love with yourself and movement.
I invite you to come:
Move
Dance
Stretch
Strengthen
Breath

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 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.
