LEVELS IN OUR SIGNATURE STYLE
BELLY DANCE
At TanzLab, our goal is to train unique and strong dancers in a safe environment. Our dance program combines technical training, musical understanding, and choreography, allowing students not only to learn movements but also to understand how to apply them with confidence and personal expression.
Most lessons are led by Joann, a multi-award-winning performer, teacher, and choreographer with many years of experience in the field of belly dance & salsa. She has traveled internationally with this art form and has won prestigious competitions worldwide, bringing high-level knowledge and inspiration to every class.
Some lessons are also taught by carefully selected advanced TanzLab students, personally chosen and mentored by Joann, ensuring that the same level of quality, dedication, and artistic vision is maintained across the program.
