Greetings to all you lovers of the danse orientale (otherwise known as Middle Eastern dance or Bellydance). Or should I say: "Howdy from one of San Francisco (Dominican Republic) top dancers"? I'm Larielly. I've been dancing professionally in San Fracisco for about 03 years, and they've been some of the best years of my life. Not only have I met some incredible people through this great art form, but I have also experienced a whole new culture without leaving my hometown! Anyone who has never experienced the joy of bellydance should definitely make time to take some lessons. It's a really great experience! I didn't think I'd enjoy it at all, and now it's a vital part of my life. I believe the more you know the better you dance. I have trained in Egyptian and Turkish (so far!) and incorporate them all into my instruction.
