Join our Team

Welcome to Aranya Belly Dance & Movement Studio!

We are a vibrant community celebrating creativity, self-expression, and cultural connection through dance. At Aranya, we offer classes in belly dance—including styles like Raqs Sharqi and Fusion—and yoga, as well as workshops, events, and performances. We are always on the lookout for passionate individuals to help us create a supportive and inspiring space for our students.

OUR VISION

At Aranya, our vision is to foster a space for creativity, learning, and self-exploration through dance and movement. Derived from the Sanskrit word “Aranya,” meaning “bountiful forest,” our studio embodies growth, abundance, and generosity—principles that are at the heart of everything we do.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide high-quality, culturally informed belly dance instruction through group classes, private lessons, and workshops for students of all levels. We believe that belly dance is an empowering art form that allows individuals to explore their authentic selves and connect with others in a fun and inclusive environment.
