Najla has a burning desire to connect
with and learn about all people. Her goal is to help her students
overcome physical challenges, improve their focus and
self-confidence. She promotes spiritual and physical centeredness.
Good nutrition, stretching and physical activity for the total well
being and health of all are a vital part of her teaching. She
believes that focus and self-discipline of training oneself in an
art or talent is key to enriching our lives
Through belly dance, her love and
thirst for information about people of all cultures has grown. She
has a burning desire to connect with and really learn about the
individual people of the various cultures. Dance can help us
appreciate how diverse and individual each person within each
culture is. History, political religion and economy exert a
major influence on the types of dance and music that comes into
vogue or disappears.
Students find the classes helpful for
exercise, body sculpting, and positive image. Her classes consist of
stretching exercises, warm-up and detailed instruction in posture,
proper positioning and precise moves. . She teaches choreography as
a way to blend moves and improvisation as an outlet of the creative
centers of the heart and soul
"I'm an ex-dancer,
55, with a hip replacement and an old neck injury. I've just begun
studying bellydance in the last couple of months. This is the first
time I've been able to stay with an exercise regime in many years
that a) gets great results b) does not insult any of my old injuries
and c) is fun, inspiring and empowering. I haven't had this kind of
core strength in years (bellydance training seems to accomplish
things that situps never could for me) and my self-esteem is moving
to the healthiest place it's been in many years! What a great
way to feel feminine, powerful and healthy, not to mention the joy
of seeing my waistline curve inwards . . ." Susan,
