Amaya Mattei Bellydance

Amaya is a great teacher! Her classes are small, and she’s all about individual attention. Instead of simply dancing at the head of the class and having us follow her, she teaches us combinations and carefully watches us to make sure we’re actually moving right. She also is the only teacher I’ve ever had (and I’ve had quite a few) who teaches zills. All of her students (including me) get quite good with them.
Another thing that makes learning under her great is that there are opportunities to perform on a somewhat regular basis. This gets us comfortable in front of audiences.
Perhaps the best thing about learning from Amaya is the «family» feeling among the dancers and Amaya herself. It makes coming to class a joyful thing.
