Astarte
Pro Fusion Tribal Belly Dance and Modern Dance Teacher

Over the past forty years, Astarte has garnered a rich melange of dance experience: university schooling in dance education, notation and kinesiology, classical training in ballet, jazz and modern, as well as various traditions of ethnic movement including Kathak, Bhangra, West African, First Nations, Romany, Flamenco, Irish Step, American Tap, and of course, Belly Dance!

Astarte has been a movement teacher for over twenty years, teaching people the power of grounded grace while on their feet, and also while astride a horse via balanced riding and equitation.

By layering new concepts with time-honored cultural basics, Astarte has developed a curriculum that emphasizes clean technique and enhances core strength with special attention to the soul-power and joy that is creative dance. To her, Belly Dance is truly an art of diversity; it enhances many traditions and celebrate all ages, shapes, and sizes. Astarte also teaches Modern Dance.
