Let’s infuse intention, expression, presence, technique, dynamics, flow, and creativity into how we move. Using concepts and ideas Ariellah has brought to Sacramento in past years to really reinforce and bring those teachings to life. Using our background, skill, understandings, and self-expression to really move, dance and create, allowing for a more potent dance movement style!


Let’s move, dance and create together! Moreover, lets allow ourselves time to simply enjoy the movement of our bodies and allow our mind to relax and our entire being to reset!

Ariellah is an international fusion dancer, performer and instructor with much passion in her heart for life, for music, for love… She has an extensive dance background that includes strict classical ballet training for 12 years with the Royal Academy of Dance from London. She has studied and performed belly dance since 2001, commencing her training with Janine Ryle of Danse Mahgreb and as a founding member of The Indigo with Rachel Brice.


In 2009, Ariellah began training in classical Indian Odissi dance, studying in India at the Shakti School of Dance and currently continues her studies of this dance form yearly with Colleena Shakti. Ariellah's style infuses many genres of dance, all with a modern dark flavour that is uniquely her own.


Her dance manifests what is deep in her heart and expresses her own experience and perceptions of this wondrous, beautiful and tragic thing called life. www.ariellah.com
