Welcome
Discover a new part of yourself
Belly dancing is a wonderful skill to learn. It connects you to parts of yourself that you didn’t previously know. It allows you to explore yourself through dance and find joy through movement.
Our Story
With the goal to help uplift women through the art of belly dance, Janka’s Oriental Dance Studio was founded by Janka Kliment in 2006.
Today the studio is owned by Melanie Wallis and Jessica Perelson and has been renamed Zahra’s Oriental Dance Studio, fulfilling a desire expressed by its founder. Melanie and Jessica have remained true to Janka’s vision and belief that the art of belly dance can benefit all women, regardless of their age, fitness level or body shape.

Our Mission
Classes vary from a beginner level to advanced/professional. They include various styles, isolation and props, with an emphasis on teaching appropriate technique and appreciation for the cultural origins of the various styles of oriental dance.
