Andrea Belly Dance

Andrea is the best teacher in San Francisco!!! Her classes are so much fun, she has a great personality and also loves giving the class a good workout! Plus, she is extremely creative in her choreography and teaching style and really knows her stuff! I look forward to going to her classes every week and I highly recommend her as a belly dance instructor!

Andrea is a phenomenal dancer and teacher. She warmly welcomed me into her class and after only about 2 months I have learned so much. Andrea is really good at breaking down movements so that each aspect can be understood and mastered. She has a great personality so her classes are always tons of fun and a great workout. I’m so happy I found her classes and highly recommend her as a teacher and performer!!!

Andrea is awesome! She teaches bellydancing and zumba on Tues and Thurs nights. My first introduction to bellydancing was also with her at Academy of Art. Her bellydance workout classes are high energy, rigorous and really fun. I hate going to the gym, so if you like to get a really good ab, thigh, butt and upper body workout, check out her class, it’s worth every penny.

Andrea is a fenomenal performer, coreographer and teacher, she is full
of energy, creativity and love. I highly recommend her as an entertainer
for all kind of events, weddings, Birthdays, and even kids because her natural
Ability to connect with all ages. I just love her and her work she is truly an Artist !!
BTW most of my own fun dances came from her.

Andrea killed another year of workshops here in Hawaii! We danced, sweated, and had a ridiculous amount of fun! Her performances at the Hale Koa and at Pyramids Restaurant were fantastic! I can’t wait for her to come back and teach us more!

Andrea is such an amazing and innovative dancer. I absolutely love her Bhangra workshop that she had did while she was here in Hawaii. It was upbeat and fun. Beautiful entertainer and teacher. Highly recommend her for parties or just to take lessons from.

Wow! I had the pleasure of taking Andrea’s «shimmy shape» and «Bhangra Belly Fusion» workshop while she was here in Honolulu, Hawaii. She was amazing. She gave a killer class, but it was also enjoyable at the same time. Thank you Andrea for bringing your aloha from the bay area.

We hired Andrea for a small school fundraiser party at our house. Not only is she a beautiful and talented belly dancer, but she created a program perfectly suited for our event. She also got everyone in the party up and dancing and having a great time and was professional to work with. I’m looking forward to hiring her again.

I took Andrea’s class over a year ago. It was a great workout and reasonably priced.

I dropped into Andrea’s class at Equinox and it was a great way to spend the morning! Great for beginners, fantastic workout and challenging enough for experienced dancers. One of my favorite professional dancers was in the class too! Andrea is a great performer and teacher, her spice, flair and sass are evident, she has a sparkling personality and infectious enthusiasm for middle eastern dance! She makes you feel welcome, and encourages you to dance with joy!

Andrea is a fabulous passionate dance performer and a creative fun dance instructor, She is highly recommended!
She is always welcoming and an organized professional.
She also has an amazing website with more information about her and her unique skills:

fun belly dance class! andrea had a lot of energy, and made us feel welcome (even when doing things incredibly off.) i just wish she had a class in the east bay/​oakland!

I was lucky enough to work with Andrea and her troupe RAKSTARS at the Deyoung museum. I asked her to put something together for the Deyoung King Tut Exhibit, Since it was Hollween I said and make it Scary :) and that was the year Michael Jackson Died. I really did not know what to expect, but I was so impressed with Andrea and her performance. With one show she hit all three things at the same time. It was releveant. Happy. Light. People and the band just loved it. Try to catch that performance on youtube and Andreabellydance or Mummy Dance. You will know what I am talking about it.
And the best part I did not have to do anything. Andrea and her troupe were just professional all the way and a delight to work with. Will definitely look forward to our next event !

For my birthday I wanted to do something different this year, I decided to get a belly dancer… the bay area has it’s fair share of belly dancers… I came across Andrea’s website and I was sold… the one thing I notice … her smile while she dances… it never leaves her face… so right there I could tell she REALLY enjoys dancing.
She has a very friendly personality and after I got off the phone with her the first time I knew I made the right choice.
The venue I booked my party originally told me it was ok to have a belly dancer, but as time went on… they became less and less accommodating… I planned a little after party at the beach… and Andrea offered to come back to finish the dancing! That was so sweet of her! I was very touched by her gesture of kindness… and all my friends loved her!
I would definitely hire her again for my birthday bash and recommend her to all my friends to do the same thing!

Imagine this: a bridal shower of 20+ women of all different ages with lots of personality. Many of whom had never taken a belly dancing class or seen a performance. Andrea was able to gather this rambunctious group together; first by her mesmerizing performance and second by her skill as an instructor. She explained the idea behind belly dancing and taught its basics. After we were able to at least move our hips in some type of rhythmic motion and pair it with some arm movements, she led us through a dance routine that had us feeling like we were stars. The bride LOVED the lesson and couldn’t stop performing her new moves for us. I highly recommend Andrea for your own party.

This class will really slim and tone your body! I joined Andrea’s class because I am a member of Valencia Muscle (where the class is held on Tuesday nights) and I was looking for a good workout (without having to pay the extra for a personal trainer) and boy am I happy with the results. I have lost 14 inches (in my waist, stomach, and hips; while still maintaining the same measurements in the bust) since beginning her class 6 weeks ago. It is a wonderful workout that starts with weights, moves on to Dance (she is such an easy person to learn from; and that is coming from someone with two left feet), and her class concludes with what she calls «punishing your abs» and believe me, you will feel it all week. I highly recommend Andrea’s class!

Andrea is a very professional, dedicated dancer. I have had the pleasure to see her perform a number of times now, and her study and ability in the art is very nice. She showcases an understanding of the music and her dance is refined. She gives alot in her personality, and is dynamic and fluid. She is wonderful!!! A plus.

I love Andrea’s class!!! I take her Tuesday evening Egyptian Belly Dance Blast workout class at Valencia Muscle and I think she is a fabulous teacher. It is so much fun and great exercise, I never want to miss it! I had never taken any type of dance or exercise class before this and am now totally addicted. Andrea makes belly dance class fun and comfortable to be a beginner. She is also a beautiful performer and I look forward to going to more of the many events she is involved in around the Bay Area.
