Core and Rhythm Classes

Blending 15 years of Belly Dance with over 20 years of Pilates and Yoga experience, I invite students of all levels to move with purpose, build lasting strength, and rediscover the joy of inhabiting their bodies fully.

Belly Dance

Express. Empower. Connect.

Shake, Shimmy, and Sweat! Join me for a belly dance-inspired fitness class that blends ancient movement with upbeat, modern music and style. Learn the fundamentals of belly dance, infused with American Tribal Style vocabulary, in a fun and supportive environment.

Pilates

Strengthen. Lengthen. Align.

Push your limits with traditional mat Pilates! Ideal for anyone looking to improve mobility, support spinal health, and enhance overall physical resilience, this practice challenges you at your level while guiding you toward new limits with control and precision.

Fitness with Weights

Lift. Balance. Thrive.

Get stronger at your own pace. With light hand weights and simple, guided moves, we build the kind of strength that makes everyday life easier and keeps you steady on your feet. Made for adults 55 and up, and beginners are always welcome.

Hi, I'm Angélique, a passionate Core and Rhythm instructor/practitioner with over 15 years in belly dance and a lifelong practice in Pilates and yoga. My approach blends strength, rhythm, and grace, drawing from both traditional and contemporary styles. With formal training in anatomy-based movement and a deep respect for the art's cultural roots, I guide students to connect with their bodies and express their inner power.

I'm certified in Pilates through Body Soul Well and in yoga with OM Yoga Flow, combining formal training with a lifelong passion for mindful movement and anatomy. My belly dance journey started in childhood, inspired by traditional, folkloric, and fusion styles, with influences like Jamila Salimpour, Carolena Nericcio, and Rachel Brice. In 2026 I completed a belly dance teacher training course.

Helping you reconnect with and fully inhabit your body through movement that is rooted in ritual, guided by breath, and open to all levels.

  • Increase flexibility
