Meet Louise, who just joined the Duniya Studio teaching team in 2025! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Louise’s belly dance journey began about 50 years ago. After taking a few classes, she joined the Enan Egyptian Folkloric Troupe<\/a> as a founding member. The troupe performed at many festivals in Ottawa, as well as at the Egyptian Embassy and in Montreal, Quebec City, and Vancouver. She has very fond memories of those years. For many years, Louise taught Raqs Sharqi through the Ottawa Board of Education, community centers, and dance studios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a 20-year break, she returned to teaching in 2023, following a request from her ballroom dance colleagues who wanted to improve their hip movements. Now in her seventies, Louise is still dancing strong! She\u2019s excited to dance with a new group of belly dance fans and can\u2019t wait to shake those coins!.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
