Daytona Beach Belly Dance began when Russian dancer and choreographer Yana chose to celebrate the dance styles of Middle East by instructing a group of women who have now become more than just dancers, but Sisters in Dance as well. “That is what the magic of Dance does”, says Yana, who teaches with passion, fun and a strictness that her students adore.

We have become a true community of local women who share in the love of music and dance, each other’s company, the enthusiasm and challenge of constantly learning, and the joy of sharing our passion through performances. The  study of this beautiful art form is good for the body and soul. Physically it is an excellent way to develop strong posture, graceful movement and authentic self-expression.

“We dance for  laughter,
we dance for tears,
we dance for madness,
we dance for fears,
we dance for hopes,
we dance for screams,
we are dancers,
we create dreams.”
– Albert Einstein.
