elisecaloca@hotmail.com, (626) 506-7351

Elissa Elissa currently teaches in West Covina, CA. She teaches beginning/intermediate (6 months to 1 year of prior belly dance experience). *Beginning dance classes are currently on hold. Typically, classes focus on posture, technique, rhythms, props, and introductions to the many growing styles of Middle Eastern Dance. She fell in love with the freedom of movement, energy of the music, and the strength of feminine grace found in belly dancing. She began studying with Nanette Young and performing with The Dancers of Amara, a performing troupe from the Central Coast of California. Soon she was performing at restaurants in San Luis Obispo and various other functions, festivals and parties in San Luis Obispo County.

Elissa has trained under Saundra Sarrouf of the Central Coast and has taken several workshops with Ansuya, Tamra-Henna, Heather Stants, Jillina, Sahra Saeeda, Helena Vlahos, Egyptian Master Randa Kamel, and Sadie. Elissa has also studied extensively with Alexandra King and Aubre of theBellydance Super Stars.

Elissa shines at accentuating the beauty of the basics of Middle Eastern dance. Elissa incorporates the dynamic styles of traditional Middle Eastern dance, flamenco, and tribal fusion dance to make it her own while still recognizing the authenticity of each unique style.
