Oasis for Dance - Belly dance school in Auckland, New Zealand

We are a belly dance school that cares about your well being.

Belly dance also known as ‘Oriental Dance' or ‘Raks Sharki' in Arabic is one of the most feminine and beautiful dance form.

It is the new fitness solution for busy women with the 'fun factor'; bellydancing comes with great music, exciting moves, noisy coin belts and its own special dress code. You don't need a dance partner and can feel free to move. Safety-wise, the emphasis on posture, core stability and mastery of technique makes bellydancing a low impact workout that tones and conditions the body - in keeping with a very modern approach to fitness, in fact!

Oasis for Dance is offering belly dance classes and workshops in our beautiful studio in Glen Innes, Auckland.
