School of Dance

I spent the last week at the mother ship, Suhaila Salimpour‘s School of Dance in El Cerrito, doing her week-long workshop and I had a wonderful time. To say that Suhaila is the best bellydancer of all time is not an overstatement, and all of us who love this amazing art form are lucky that […]
