Liz, where can we buy your belly dance choreography tutorials?

[@MemphisRaqs]

Up til now I’ve only offered studio classes and traveling workshops, but had recorded a whole dvd of beginner instruction that was never produced. Now that the virtual world reigns supreme, I’ve been recording material to offer online! Follow the channel here or my personal Instagram @lilbitlizz for sneak peeks and updates. And random life photos!
