There are variations within middle eastern dance, and Amustela encourages the dancer to blend them to develop your own personality as a dancer. Amustela’s philosophy is to enjoy the dance. This is a dance that uses the entire body and face to express to sensuous and beautiful spirit of a woman. Whether you do this audiences or for fitness ... dance first for yourself.
