“I can’t stop moving my hips! Michelle has helped me remember the wisdom that lives in my body and through class I invoke this power, ask it to come out and dance with me. I find myself moving my hips when I feel stressed or otherwise not ‘in my body’ and immediately I unlock that place and dip into ease, grace and breath. I am so grateful to Michelle’s class because I know I can’t look at my belly again with any shred of shame, I have a belly dancer’s belly and what’s sexier than that?!” – Julia

“Belly dance class with Michelle has been deeply and personally transformative for me. It has helped me to heal old wounds of shame around being in a female body, and has empowered me in reclaiming my sensuality and my passion for dance.

From that place, deep healing has been possible, as well as lots of laughter, play, and nourishing connection.” – Lily Moon
