Studio S.I.L.K. is a dance studio offering fifteen adult classes weekly
taught by a range of seasoned, professional dancers
and a space where professionals can come to work out new choreography and grow in their arts

Four years ago, I was invited by U of L to teach Belly Dance, the semester start date being just two months after the birth of my second child. Feeling vulnerable about my new mama body not being in the condition to which I was accustomed when dancing, I opted to perceive the experience from the standpoint of showing women that
beautiful sensual dancing comes from a place other than "skinny".

My hope was that my students would feel more comfortable with their own bodies when their instructor's figure wasn't that of a typical dancer. For whatever reason, my classes grew, and I found studio space to sublet...this was the beginning of Studio S.I.L.K.

The past four years have provided me with incredible opportunities to develop my ideas of providing a safe and nurturing environment for women to experience the joy and fulfillment of dancing beautifully and expressively, on every skill level, from basic to professional.

We hope to see you soon.
