Diana Mehira Green
My name is Diana, for 17 years I have taught the beautiful dance from the Middle East commonly referred to as "belly dance". Known also as Oriental dance. Over the years I have seen woman after woman grow in self-confidence, self-esteem as they discover their inner freedom through self-expression. So many have told me how much my classes have helped them cope with poor mental health, physical issues such as shoulder and back pain and many more. I have seen many many lifelong friendships made in my classes that survive long after a student stop attending. Teaching has given me so much pleasure watching these lovely women blossom and surprise themselves when they realise they're dancing. The fun, friendships and shared love of the dance helps us take on the world.
