Warm ups and cool-downs are included in the lesson.  Lesson plans are provided by email in PDF.  Lesson-related questions are always welcome, and non-related discussions are welcome before or after class.

All sizes, colors, and fitness levels are welcome.  Ages 12 - 100+ are permitted in regular classes, and younger ages can be taught through specialized programs.  Each sudent is responsible for letting the instructor know of any pre-existing or current physical conditions.  Seeking advice from a physician prior to starting a new regime is always encouraged.  

All visitors must be pre-approved through the instructor.  Performing as a troupe member or as a soloist is strictly optional.  Nadiyah sells finger cymbals.  Click here for other belly dance merchandise.  Coin scarves and belts can be purchased locally through Atmosphere at the Northtown Mall.  There are no refunds unless Nadiyah's schedule changes.
