Always wanted to learn how to BELLY DANCE?  

Lisa (aka: Shiara) can help you move in exciting new ways!

She has been studying and performing Middle Eastern Dance since 1993.  

She has been sharing her passion for this beautiful art form in the classroom since 1998. 

In 2003, Lisa (Shiara) won the MEDINA (Middle Eastern Dance in North America) competition.  This experience was invaluable for Shiara and helped sharpen her skills and train her eye to better guide her students to become the very best they can be!

In 2016 she won the Arts Educator award from the Ames Community Arts Council.  This award is proudly on display at the studio as a reminder of the care and dedication necessary to help guide the next generation of Middle Eastern Dance artists.

Curious about DELSARTE?

“Delsarte is a body language analysis that is complete, thorough and honest.  

It gives mind-blowing clarity to both our life and our artistic communications.  

It is best experienced.”
