Welcome to Farfesha Belly Dance

Under the direction of Michelle Morrison, Farfesha Belly Dance is a professional belly dancing company and instructional studio located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. Belly Dance is a path to physical fitness and greater body awareness. It allows a woman to discover and appreciate her individual beauty.

The Farfesha Philosophy

Our dance philosophy is based entirely on our name. Years ago, we had the good fortune to meet Egyptian music historian George Sawa, who, after spending the evening in our company declared we were full of "joyous laughter." Hence the name Farfesha.

Belly Dancing Classes

Farfesha's goal is to bring the joy of this dance to our students and audience. Through our classes, shows, productions and workshops, we seek to help every woman bloom. If we can bring a little laughter and joy through our endeavors, so much the better. In fact the expression "Fesh" has come to mean that on-stage high-energy delight. Have you got Fesh?

Belly Dancing Information

On these pages, you'll find information on many subjects (including how to dye silk, make tassels and wrap a turban), and reviews on belly dance products. You can also find quality hip scarves, zils, and my acclaimed instructional belly dance videos.

We want your experience with Farfesha to be a joyous one indeed! Please explore our site and check back often as we add new treasures and articles frequently!
