Raena's Classes
Biography
This is a story of how “mom’s hobby” evolved into a rewarding career as a dance professional.
Years later, I’m really proud of my achievements but still consider myself a student of this beautiful cultural dance.
As MY student, you’ll discover how a dance class becomes an cultural art experience. Appreciating the Middle Eastern origins of this art is very important to me so I strive to make this clear in my performances, in my classes, and when sharing group student shows in our community.
My other goal? As a certified fitness professional, I want you to stay healthy while having a great time learning. Dance should be rewarding and empowering for everyone!
Graceful Level Changes:
Exploring the Hills and Valleys
Not every dancer is athletic, but every dancer can find beautiful ways to incorporate depth, travel, and grounded expression. This workshop breaks down safe, accessible techniques for swoops, lunges, kneels, and transitions, with modifications for different bodies.

Body Wi-Fi:
Full Body Connection in Dance
Many dancers focus on what they see in the mirror - hips, chest, arms -but forget the power of the whole body. In this workshop, we’ll connect the dots from feet to fingertips through spirals, rotations, and torso work to create more fluid, 360-degree movement.
