Share this fun bonding experience with TTN pals: our own private belly dance class where we’ll have the freedom to let loose, release our inner queen, and dance! Our private class will take place in a beautiful open studio in the Times Square area. And, after class, we can gather at a local watering hole for “happy hour” cocktails!

Our Teacher: Salit Cohen-Cheng is a professional Middle Eastern dancer, instructor and choreographer based in New York City. Her passion for belly dance began in 2005 at the Arabesque studio in Jerusalem, Israel, and since then she has continued her studies of dance, art, movement, music, and Arabic culture. Having danced ballet as a kid, it wasn’t until her mother started taking belly dance classes that she decided to study it fully. In an interview with Bustle, she notes that once she found belly dance, she “immediately felt at home when I started dancing this style, and after my first performance as a belly dancer (with a students’ group) I knew I had found my place.” In order to further her skills, she has taken many classes and workshops by world-renowned masters such as Yousry Sharif, Orit Maftsir, Tito, Nour, Jehan Kamal, Randa Kamel, Raqia Hassan, to name a few.
