Kalae Kaina who teaches the class is very professional, talented and creative dancer. She does basic bellydance techniques, drills, combo and creative choreography in the class. Her lessons are fun and exciting!!

I've been taking classes with Kalae for awhile now and while challenging (which I love!)...she is also nurturing. She pushes me out of comfort zone and into growth. Her classes are packed with content and I always leave feeling like I learned a lot! I highly recommend Kalae Kaina's belly dance classes!

I absolutely love taking fusion bellydance classes from Kalae (founder and director of Shakti Dance Movement)! I was hooked the first class I took and have been dancing under the direction of Kalae for 5 yrs now. Each class leaves me feeling invigorated and energized! I've always felt welcome in class and even though classes may seem intimidating, Kalae makes you feel comfortable and is very encouraging. If you're looking to get a workout, learn proper technique, and have a lot of fun while dancing, I recommend signing up with Shakti Dance Movement's classes!

I have been studying with Kalae for many years and I am always learning something new and exciting! I enjoy the positive learning environment she creates for her students in her classes and seminars. You will feel safe to explore all that Bellydance can offer you in her classes. Whether you are taking a beginner or intermediate/advanced level class or speciality seminars, you will leave your class experience smiling.

So fun! Kalae is a fantastic teacher for all levels. She has a great class for beginners and all the students are really welcoming so it’s fun to get to know and dance with the other ladies. She also has classes for intermediate students and sometimes even offers performance opportunities. Her classes are a great workout and way to get to know your own body. Good price too!
