I have so many inspirations throughout my martial arts journey. I remember when Chen Bing visited Houston some years ago he helped me formulate the Chinese name for our Academy during one of our private lessons at Shi Yan Chan’s (the martial arts master formerly known as: Shi Xing Ying) school. It’s simple, but straight to the point.

Last week, Anna (the creator of our Ahlam Academy program) had the pleasure of hosting the “Great Gals of Cinco” for a private belly dance group lesson here at

Like their name, these ladies were great and talented and so much fun to teach.

They picked up the moves and combo she taught them so quickly.

It was such a wonderful opportunity to host their group and teach them a bit about this amazing dance art.

Would you like to host your women’s group for a private belly dance lesson?

Msg us when you’re ready to plan an event to remember!
