Heather Louise belly dancer in Portland, Oregon

Hey there,

I'm Heather Henna Louise, a raqs sharqi (belly dance) artist and instructor based in Portland, Oregon.

This is the website for my self-produced courses and the portal for my coaching students.

I specialize in Egyptian raqs sharqi and artistic development for dancers.

Egyptian music is my forever muse. I’m also pretty nerdy about brain science, creativity, and our wise, resilient bodies.  

I’m known for teaching and performing my elegant and warm style of raqs sharqi in the Pacific Northwest and online.

Feel free to shoot me an email for more information.

Thank you,
Heather
