Angel Bellydance has over 3 decades of training and now 3 decades of experience as a dance instructor.

Angel teaches most styles of bellydance, and after many requests, she also designed a few workshops involving the topic she's most sought out for; Latin-Bellydance Fusion, Flamenco Rumba Arabe, Reggaeton-Bellydance Fusion, and Basic Latin steps/rhythms for bellydancers.

Latin Bellydance Fusion by Angel Bellydance

Bring the FIESTA to your Bellydance!

Angel will teach some of the most basic steps in Latin Dance. Angel will then fuse these steps into a sassy Bellydance combo. We will also discuss how to identify the Latin rhythm(s) used in this workshop. Identifying rhythms in Latin dance is just as important as identifying various rhythms in Bellydance (Latin rhythms and steps include Salsa, Cha-Cha-Cha, Merengue, Rumba, Samba, and more).

Both of Angel’s Latin and Bellydance techniques are quite useful for all dancers who wish to be more versatile and wish to achieve that “polished” look we all desire in our dancing such as elegant posture, sharp isolations, clean arm stylizations, basic shimmies, easy to follow traveling steps, drills and combos.

Bring your water and towel and be prepared to sweat!

Angel’s informative Krispy Kleen Isolations workshops is loaded with tips, tricks and illusion methods to help you clean up and enhance those isolations for a more crisp and clean statement on stage!
