Experiences with MounaMay Dance & Pilates

Floor Kennedy

Loraine knows a lot about the human body, and about different styles of dance. Loraine is fully committed to the school and she’s focused on getting the best out of her students. This makes the classes both relaxing and challenging! I am planning to keep dancing here for a long time!

Carla Langerak

I’ve been dancing with joy at MounaMay Bellydance School since September 2015. The classes always start with a great warming-up, a yoga-like mix of stretching and balance. Wonderful! I really like how several classes are dedicated to one subject, like the use of your arms or working on the posture and movements of classical Egyptian dancing. This gives you time to really master the techniques. Later classes build on what you’ve already learned. The group is very friendly as well. Classes always feature dancing together in a circle, which is a lot of fun. I’m really looking forward to the next four months!

I have been attending to MounaMay’s performance group lessons for many years. I have learnt plenty of new things about technique, but I have also improved how to communicate with the public and how to express feelings and emotions while dancing. The atmosphere in the lessons was great! I felt welcome since the very beginning. Every new performance was a challenge. Thank you Loraine and my nice friends from the performance group!
