Our Story
Where Tradition Meets Movement
Mayada discovered Middle Eastern dance in 1994 at age fifteen and has since become one of Toronto's most accomplished bellydance instructors, performers, and choreographers. She founded Canada's first bellydance magazine (MID-BITS) and hosts Bellydance Talk Radio.
Having taught at the Royal Ontario Museum, Ryerson University, York University, and Arabesque Academy, Mayada brings decades of expertise to every class. Her teaching combines anatomy-informed technique with personal fitness knowledge.
Our studio teaches authentic Egyptian-style raqs sharqi — the art of oriental dance — with emphasis on technique, fitness, and the ancient feminine art form. Whether you're a complete beginner or advanced dancer, you'll find your home here.
