Dr. Amber Pollack-Berti has been studying belly dance since 2007, when she took a class "just for fun" and ended up falling deeply in love with the music, moves, costumes, and community. Her dance style is primarily "American Cabaret" with Egyptian and Lebanese influences. She treasures the time she spent as a professional hookah lounge dancer, where the audience was close and waiters carrying trays of hummus were even close! For classes, her goal is to create a relaxed and fun environment to get out of your head and just get dancing.
