Private Lessons
You can pick the time and days, whether we meet in person at the Belly Dance Eugene Studio or we meet online. We can discuss your mask and vaccine comfort level privately but I do ask you to fill out the information on the form accurately so I can take precautions on my end for other students I teach who are immune compromised.

New procedures
1. All exercise classes are paid through a monthly class card that allows unlimited access to all classes. Currently monthly passes are listed as only $20. I am certain that price will not stay this inexpensive.
2. After you purchase you monthly class card, you DO have to register for the class beforehand to get the invitation to attend.
You can register online or by phone by calling the Bob Keefer Center:

Sarina performs her alternative tribal fusion belly dance style at many venues in Eugene and sometimes Portland, Oregon. Whether she is steampunk belly dancing to neo-Victorian music, using her flamenco/burseque fusion fans with a 1920's flair, gypsy skirt twirling, clowning it up at Cirque du Eugene, or fusing break dance and belly dance to a Star Trek remixed music, she brings creativity and fun to the dance. Check the website regularly for updates.
