The beautiful thing about yoga is that it doesn’t require you to be anything other than who you are right now. Yoga with Ioanna guides students to a calmer, more peaceful inner world.
Ioanna's Dance Academy is hands down the most amazing studio at which I have ever danced. I have been dancing for many years, and experienced many studios, and none have come close to what this one has to offer. The atmosphere is warm, friendly and inviting, and caters to individuals of all levels. The instructors care for each individual dancer's individual goals and somehow manages to structure their lessons to include them all, whether you are looking to learn or perfect technique for on stage performances, or if you are just there to move and unwind after work. It is a great way to workout and build muscle without even realising you are doing it.
I highly recommend Ioanna's Academy for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the art of belly dancing. This isn't just a dance studio—it's a space built on sisterhood, where you can truly connect with others while learning the movements and techniques of oriental dancing (and not only). It's more than just a place to dance; it's a self-care sanctuary that encourages personal growth and fosters a sense of community. Ioanna and the teaching team offer an in-depth experience that challenges you, taking you out of your comfort zone to push your limits and build both skill and confidence. If you're ready for a journey that stretches you physically and mentally, this is the place to be!
Wonderful dance studio. Excellent teachers!
Beautiful and fairly spacious studio, suitable for a variety of dance styles. Great local, ample parking, security.
I've always wanted to do a dance class, but after trying a few, I never left feeling supported or met with patience. I have poor coordination, and it often felt like something I was being judged for rather than guided through.
That all changed when I started bellydance classes with Ioanna's Bellydance Academy three years ago. From the beginning, the teachers never discouraged me—they only supported and encouraged me, never once finding fault.
It truly is a remarkable place to grow and learn. But for me, the most beneficial and meaningful part of bellydance has been the teachers themselves. Their passion, kindness, and genuine desire for us to have fun and feel safe while learning is something I deeply cherish. The experience Ioanna and the other incredible teachers create is truly special.
Ioanna Dance Academy is an absolute haven for women of all ages, for artistic self-discovery, for work-out in a feminine way, for exploring hidden talents, all along the beats of exotic oriental music. Dynamic teachers, friendly sisterhood, refined studio. Highly recommend.
Ioanna is THE top belly dancer that I have EVER come across. Her dancing skills are magical and out of this world! Super talented and extremely professional. It is truly a great honor to be taught by such a brilliant and passionate dancer. Ioanna is simply the best and no belly dancer or belly dancing teacher comes remotely close to her brilliance!
Ioanna is an absolute professional as a studio owner and dance instructor, who has also received training in Egypt. My journey with the Belly Dance Academy has been one of energetic classes and informative dance workshops too. Don't hesitate to join a positive group of women in a safe and secure studio who all benefit from a highly skilled yet passionate instructor.
Belly dance is a true celebration of the female form. I feel so privileged to be able to learn this art form from one of the best dancers in the world. Ioanna is an extremely gifted teacher who knows how to break movements and steps down into basic fundamentals so you learn things the right way. Each lesson is always carefully prepared and structured so you get the most out of every minute with her.
I started classes at the Belly Academy seven months ago and have truly been impressed by the supportive community and positive atmosphere in the studio. The incredibly professional way of handling things combined with a friendly human touch creates a safe environment to enjoy dance and self expression. Whether your goals are simply stress relief or to become an expert in the art of bellydancing, these classes will lead you on your way. For me, it has been a lot of fun.
