I have not taken this course myself however, a good friend of mine did recently. I witnessed first hand the effectiveness of this course through the utterly beautiful performance my friend displayed during our wedding. She attended this academy, only for a few weeks leading up to our big day. Because of the confidence she got from taking this course, she asked us if she could perform during our reception. Let me say, we were blown away and so happy she danced for us and our guests! She was one of the major highlights of this eventful evening, and our guests gave rave reviews on her belly dancing performance. Beautiful, graceful, sexy yet classy...perfect entertainment value! If you're even remotely thinking of taking this course, I would highly recommend you do so! Our friend did and we saw the results first-hand! 5 Stars to the Authentic Belly Dancing Entertainment & Academy! read more

I've always wanted to try belly dancing, after I took class at ABD for the first time, I knew this is what I'll do for a very long time. Both the teachers, Neenah and Rebecca, are fantastic. Not only are they great teachers, they are wonderful performers too. If you are looking for a new way for workout or want to practice and start performing, you've come to the right place. The classes usually starts with warm up, then fundamental techniques, drills, and choreography. I've learned so much during the past year and have started performing. It's so much fun and I absolutely love it! They have beginners, intermediate, and advanced classes. Everyone is welcomed no matter if you are new to dancing or have been dancing for years. read more

There are two levels of this business that make it worth trying! The first is the classes! They're a great work out full of nice students and great instructors that really push you towards new levels physical prowess. BUT THEY'RE FUN! So much fun! It's a great way to feel sexy, confident, and even get the chance to perform if you want! The second level is the "entertainment" factor. Troupe Hareem, which comes out of Authentic Belly Dance Entertainment is the best I've seen in town. The girls are talented, beautiful, and know how to add a lot of (family safe) spice to a restaurant or party! read more
