What class should I take if I have no dance experience?

​We recommend the Intro to Belly Dance class. While beginners are welcome in the Level 1 classes, they move quicker than the intro level. An intro class will generally focus on basic isolations, building up to 1 or 2 moves. A Level 1 Class focuses on 3 or more movements, usually ending with a combo.
​Pease note that sometimes the Level 1 classes teach choreography, so check with us to make sure it is a good time to drop in.

​
What is the difference between Belly Dance, Raqs Sharqi, and Fusion Belly Dance?

Raqs Sharqi 
in Arabic translates to Oriental Dance and refers to the stage version of Egyptian dance. This is commonly known in the West as Belly Dance.
Fusion Belly Dance refers to a style that is heavily based in MENAT (Middle East, North Africa, and Turkey) styles of dance blended with elements of  flamenco, pop & lock, and more. ​
What should I wear to dance class?

Anything you can comfortably move in! We recommend active wear with stretch. We don't recommend jeans or dresses/skirts as we may do stretches on the floor. Belly Dance is done barefoot, but if you prefer it you can wear socks or ballet slippers. Please don't wear outdoor shoes in the studio.

What Our Students Are Saying

During the pandemic Sirena World Dance Studio has been a saving grace! These ladies have delivered excellent virtual classes in which I've been able to keep up with my personal practice. I don't live in ABQ, but if I did I would certainly try an in person class. If you're looking for some make-your-brain-work world dance fun I highly recommend these mermaids!"
-Yolanda

"I have been wanting to take classes at Sirena ever since their "open house" style day with previews of all the teachers and finally in quarantine have been able to take the zoom classes! I love them!! I have only taken zoom classes with Sadie so far, but they are a lot of fun. It is exciting seeing so many happy people come together to learn this beautiful art."
-Alex


"A wonderfully supportive studio with the most amazing, kindest, sweetest, and most creative teachers! This studio brings inspiring performance art and opportunities to be involved in new ways to Albuquerque. I am so grateful to this hardworking and talented community."
-Katherine

"This studio is my favorite part of Albuquerque. The teachers are excellent dancers, but also very fun and welcoming. I take all the intro and half the level 1 classes. It's my happy place and would be yours too if you sign up."
