Local GuideGoogleOn behalf of the Miserlou Dance Group — Shifan’s students from Texas — we want to thank the organizers of the 2025 L.A. Bellydance Competition for an unforgettable weekend. The event was beautifully run, welcoming, and full of inspiring energy. We truly appreciated the chance to share the stage with so many talented performers and to be part of such a supportive, creative community. Special thanks to Ahmed Hussien for his energetic workshop and thoughtful judging — he left a strong impression on our group. Thank you for creating such a memorable experience. We look forward to future opportunities to learn, connect, and perform with this wonderful community.

Local GuideGoogleIf you're a dancer you will love this studio. Decent parking in the back. I take tahitian classes here and there are PLENTY of us but the rooms are very accommodating.

Local GuideGoogleSo nice bellydance studio with big trainer mirror dance class and little bit smaller another one. Looks pretty. Good location. You can buy costumes and accessories here.

Local GuideGoogleI started my journey in bellydance in a fitness class in Washington DC in 2022. I came out to California last summer and discovered LA Bellydance Academy (LABA) just by luck. All of the staff was warm and welcoming. I attended every beginning class that I could fit into my schedule. I learned to love the dance so much that I joined a local bellydance performance studio in Washington DC. I have returned to LA this summer with two beginning performances under my belt but I am so happy to be back. LABA is still incredible with all of the hip and traditional Arabic music, huge selection of classes and techniques. Stefanya, Erica and Sarah are talented as well as encouraging and supportive. They also have a store for bellydance gear and costumes so I now have plenty of accessories. Last year was a great introduction but this year, LA Bellydance Academy has reinforced my love for bellydance in all forms and expanded my techical skills. I am happy to be part of the LABA community.
