Hip Hop + Bellydance Fusion Workshop

Welcome to Aisha Studios' Summer Workshop Series—the ultimate experience for bellydance enthusiasts looking to expand their horizons! This summer, we're offering a unique series of workshops that combine bellydance with popular dance styles. If you're ready to take your dance journey to the next level, you're in the right place.

Each workshop is designed to give you an authentic experience, thanks to our team of experienced instructors. Unlike other fusion workshops, we focus on in-depth technique and precision of all our fusion dance forms, ensuring you receive top-quality training in both bellydance and the fused dance style.

Begin each workshop with a full hour of technique training in the non-bellydance style. This dedicated time allows you to fully understand the foundation and nuances of the featured dance form.

Once you've mastered the basics, dive into an hour of fusion choreography where bellydance meets the other dance style. Our instructors guide you through innovative combinations, creating a truly unique dance experience.

All our instructors are experts in their respective styles, so you get the real deal—no half-assed technique or watered-down instruction. It's the perfect opportunity to expand your dance skills while learning from the best.

Learn the smooth moves of hip hop with LaTissa ChaNelle, then explore a fusion combination that brings together the best of both worlds.

Join Courtney Feliz and Aisha Studios Instructor Aisha as they infuse the vibrant rhythms of samba with the percussiveness of bellydance.

Experience the classical beauty of Odissi with Harleen, then transition into a fusion that melds classical Indian dance with the flow of bellydance.

Attend in person at Elite Ballroom in Morrisville, NC, or join online via Zoom. Can't make it live? No worries! Each workshop is recorded so you can learn at your own pace.

LaTissa found her passion for dance early on, shortly after breaking a chair while attempting to perform Janet Jackson's "Pleasure Principle" music video.

From there, she sought opportunities to move + create in a variety of forms...
Leading her cheerleading squad in high school, where she choreographed award winning pieces. Joining Blank Canvas Dance Company in college, where she crafted numbers that showcased both experienced dancers and Hip Hop first-timers. Running dance troupes after college, where she honed her skills at delivering high-quality performances with limited instruction + rehearsal time. Training as a dance fitness instructor, where she brought the joy + physical benefits of movement to a new audience. Serving on the board of VAE Raleigh, where she helps bring diverse art expressions to her community. And teaching kid + teen hip hop classes with local studios, where she helps her students learn the fundamentals of the style - rhythm, presence, precision - not just moves.

​She’s inspired to use dance, movement, + art to change the world. She hopes you’ll join her.
