The Refined Dancer Program
Packed with creativity and fun that keeps students learning and engaged. Students learn balance, posture, presentation, foot patterns and expanded vocabulary of movement. They focus on musicality and rhythm with zills patterns and keep time with tambourines and maracas.
World Dance with an Emphasis on Belly Dance Basics & Refinement
Krisenna's bubbly and uplifting teaching style sets the tone for this dynamic class that combines technical training and dance fitness. Students learn and drill basic moves (Salsa, Tribal Fusion, Classic Indian Styles, Egyptian Belly Dance, etc.) and enjoy additional artistic instruction that incorporates veil technique, fan, zills patterns and other props. All students will have access to a Facebook group that includes additional learning materials, drills & at-home study guidance. Practice props are provided at no additional cost. Students will not be required to practice or perform in attire that exposes the belly. No previous dance experience is necessary!

What Students Are Saying
"I have been taking Krisenna's World Dance class since August 2018. I have also taken a couple of her workshops and seen her perform for an audience several times. Krisenna is exactly what a person would want from a teacher. She is kind, and patient, and has a wealth of knowledge that she shares generously! Not only is she a remarkable teacher, she is also a beautifully talented dancer (have you seen her show stopping drum solo? Amazing!) and an inspiring business owner. I am always amazed at her many talents!"
"I came into dance with no prior dance training or knowledge, with no expectations and a lot of feelings of intimidation, and Krisenna opened up the door for me into to a loving, accepting dance community that I had never known existed. In a matter of months I went from dancing while no ones watching to proudly telling people that I am a dancer. I was born to dance and now I am empowered to do it, all thanks to Krisenna!"
— Courtney M.
"Krisenna is a great teacher and I love watching her dance! She seems to know exactly what each person needs to keep them going. She's encouraging and engaging. She breaks down arm, head, hip and foot movements so they are easier to learn and shares musical and cultural information that help one learn and make the dance instruction more rich and interesting."
— Karen H.
"Krisenna is the most patient, kind, inspired and insightful teachers I have ever met. She's continually concerned with the self-esteem and progress of all her students. She cares about them and the feeling is always mutual."
— Denny K.
"I am very pleased to serve as a reference to Krisenna Zipporah. I am honored to have attended Amethyst Dance Festival three times and serve as a teacher in one. Krisenna organizes Amethyst and it is a top notch event that brings dance community together in a positive and friendly manner. Her workshops were well attended and as organizers we received excellent reviews of her work as an artist and a teacher. We would love to have her come back."
— Innah
"Attending Krisenna's World Dance Class at The Studio has not just been a fun activity for me. It has made a profound difference in my life. Three years ago, I was a happy healthy CEO of a multi-million dollar federal government subcontractor. That was before I was struck-down by osteoporosis, arthritis and fibromyalgia. One day I saw an advertisement for Krisenna's dance class on Facebook. She quickly responded with an invitation to join her. In that first class, I saw my body moving in ways that were entertaining, fun, and perhaps even a little risqué. When I returned home that evening I felt a sense of wellbeing I had not felt in the last two years. Today, I continue to find my balance strength, and flexibility improving. I cannot thank Krisenna enough. I would have never dreamed dance could have this impact on my life."
