Welcome to Dance Oasis - The National Capital Region's Premiere Belly Dance Studio. The word "oasis", with its origin in the Coptic word "ouahe", describes a place of rest, relaxation and renewal where one can forget the cares of everyday life; the Oasis provides everything needed for life to flourish amongst the harsh desert climate.
Native Egyptian dance masters Denise and Ahmed Enan welcome you to enjoy dance classes with Ottawa-Gatineau's very best Oriental dance instructors: Marie-Eve (Farida), Jalilah, Christine (Krystina), Ginette (Gilane), Johanne (Johara), Jocelyne (Jehane) Khan, and of course, award-winning master instructor Denise Enan. Whether you are a complete beginner or looking to build on advanced techniques, we have classes to suit your needs.
Private lessons and group classes are available, as well as mini-workshops on a variety of topics, guaranteed to enhance your dance. We also have our popular once-monthly Saturday night Hawanem Nights (ladies only) and Layali Oasis (ladies and gents welcome) where you can enjoy free dancing and surprise performances. We also host popular Video Nights where you can snack on popcorn and be inspired by video performances.
Join us at Dance Oasis for fun and fitness in a warm and friendly atmosphere; your refuge of relaxation and renewal from your daily grind!
