Linor joined the Duniya Studio teaching team in 2023 as a substitute teacher, and since 2025 as a regular teacher. 

Linor discovered belly dance later in life, but the connection was instant and transformative for her. As a mom of two in her 30s, she stepped into her first beginner belly dance class thinking dance might not be “for her”—only to find herself completely swept away. That first class ignited a passion that hasn’t dimmed after years of continuous study and joyful exploration.

A dedicated student of Duniya Studio in Ottawa, Linor has trained weekly with its inspiring teachers and sought out global expertise through workshops and online learning. Her favourite style is Shaabi, which perfectly mirrors her love of wild joy, playfulness, and vibrant self-expression.

Linor’s greatest inspiration comes not only from celebrated dancers around the world but also from the community she dances with. Her fellow dancers, especially the incredible Cathy of Duniya, have shown her how dance becomes a language of joy, energy, and connection.

As a teacher, Linor’s approach is rooted in inclusivity and fun. She believes Belly dance is a deeply welcoming art form—one that gives back endlessly to those who embrace it. Her mission is to make the joy of Bellydance accessible to everyone. In her classes, confidence and enjoyment take center stage from day one. If you’re smiling while you shimmy, Linor knows she’s done her job.
