Welcome to Salwa Dance Academy,
your dance school dedicated to exploration, self-expression, and transformation through Oriental dance (Raqs Sharqi)!
Founded by Salwa, our dance school in Brussels has welcomed hundreds of students, from absolute beginners to advanced and aspiring professional dancers. Our Oriental dance classes in Brussels allow you to learn at your own pace with a teaching approach tailored to every level.
We offer weekly Oriental dance classes, as well as workshops, private lessons, online training, and performances.
More than just learning steps, our classes help you feel at home in your body, gain confidence, and reconnect with your artistic side. Through music and movement, we guide you in exploring the beauty of this rich cultural dance, developing a deep connection with rhythm and expression.
Since 2023, weekly classes have been taught by Eszter-Maura, a passionate dancer and instructor with over 20 years of experience in Oriental dance and a strong musical background. She helps students master the fundamentals, refine their technique, and fully express their creativity.
Our founder Salwa continues to inspire through workshops, coaching and the creation of unique, magical performances.
