About

Sweet hellos to everyone! My name is Maria Papa and I come all the way from the Mediterranean countries, however I’m located in New York! I am a professional belly dancer for 10 years with experience in weddings, events, festivals, resorts, as well as group and private lessons. I also have experience in ballroom, salsa, bachata, merengue, Greek Zorba, ballet etc. I would love to work for you and even send you a demo! Feel free to contact me and ask me any questions :)

The classes are fun, welcoming, and full of energy. The instructor explains movements clearly and makes learning belly dance enjoyable

Mary was great to work with. She was smart, caring, knowledgeable, and made me feel comfortable. She explained things great, and was supportive the many times I made a mistake 😅. My confidence went up after only a few lessons and I can’t wait to keep going. Thanks, Mary!!
