Experienced tutor in Dance in Durham, Laylianah offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

I was taking a belly dancing class years ago that Laylianah stepped in as a sub for at one point. I loved her vibe so much that I started taking regular classes with her. She’s so knowledgeable of her craft and makes beginners (like me) feel comfortable while offering encouragement and helpful advice. One of my favorite things is that Laylianah gives her classes homework! She’s clearly gone through a time consuming process of creating instructional videos and is generous in sharing them with her students. It’s incredibly helpful to have a reference point between classes. All around great time—she’s down to earth, professional and so much fun to be around.

Enthusiasm, pleasant and makes sure students understand and feel confident. I like the videos she sends us each week for homework. They are each very clear and easy to understand.

Laylianah is great at explaining technique in a way that encourages. She often gives a brief belly dance history lesson, I better comprehend why and how to move my body. She uses humor and is patient. Overall, she's an excellent teacher and I highly recommend her.

Laylianah is exceptional about breaking down moves into their constituent parts and keeping students focused on proper technique so we don't strain or hurt ourselves. Her classes are comprehensive - not just about the moves but understanding the music, showmanship, and dancing for the camera. I can not recommend her enough.

Laylianah is fun to learn from. She is strong in her technical skills, musicality, and ability to convey directions for body movement. I have enjoyed learning from her for over a year and plan to continue on to intermediate and advanced levels!

I like she explains how to move with hurting yourself and she makes her classes fun and welcoming.

Laylianah is a great instructor. She knows how to teach so improvement is really visible. I enjoy her classes very much

She is very approachable, kind and funny. She is also a very technical teacher who provides lots of information about belly dancing in general as well as when she breaks down each move. I feel like I have learned a lot in a short time!
