Datura Online
Datura Online is your online studio offering dance, yoga, pilates, and fitness classes. Our mission is to bring dance education to as many people as possible, and to provide both new innovations and historical perspectives of our dance form. We are a belly dancer owned, operated, and funded company, making the website we want to use.

The 8 Elements of Belly Dance
The goal of the 8 Elements program is the empowerment of the individual and a deeper understanding of dance-making, rather than loyalty to any one style of dance.
Using Datura Style Belly Dance, we deconstruct belly dance technique and vocabulary, then examine the underlying structures, including composition, music, and practice. New opportunities for in-person and online intensives are in the works!
