Andrea has been a dedicated teacher of Middle Eastern dance since 1993, teaching weekly classes in New York City to all ages and levels. Her knowledge of traditional Egyptian, North African & Turkish dance is the foundation upon which she builds her classes, but she also adds Indian, Latin and Spanish influences to her choreography and combinations. Andrea’s classes for beginners focus on breaking down classic Arabic technique, clarifying isolations, building strength, increasing flexibility & discovering the sensuality of the movements. As students advance, she also teaches the art of playing finger cymbals. Her classes are fun & challenging, geared to benefit both the body and spirit.
