Lana Nasser, M.A. started leading workshops since she was 16 years old, and has continued to develop her technique ever since. Working with all ages, backgrounds, and dance levels, she believes belly-dance to be natural to every woman; it is how our bodies want to move-if we let them. It is meant to be effortless.
