Years ago, Lana and her two closest friends sought escape from
the heart-breaking volunteer world of animal rescue. With no
prior dance experience they walked into a belly dance class out
of pure curiosity. Together they instantly felt the fire of this
ancient dance and their passion for Middle Eastern song was
born.

Traveling for her journalism career, Lana enrolled in every
instructional workshop she could find and studied regularly in her
hometown ....

She has studied with instructors from Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq  
and Lebanon. The goal is to  bring warmth and joy into a room.

them."
