‘Leela teaches at different locations and offers several classes. She is just a gorgeous sexy woman with a lot of sass and fun! She moves like water and encourages us to play :) I love her energy and and she creates beauty with her body. And she’s the only teacher who will call you (and everyone in the class, LOL!) a beautiful mermaid and a sexy goddess! Love her! Go check out a class! Click on her site and watch her stuff on YouTube. But it’s way way more fun to just be with her in class!’ Nina N.

‘For my senior year in high school, I had to do a senior project and I chose to belly dance. Soon after, I found Leela Bellydance, and saw the fair prices and took a Bellydance course with her and others. Within a matter of 10 weeks, I learned a beautiful dance called Ice Princess, and performed it for my class and received an excellent grade. I also performed with Leela for adults with special needs. She is very enthusiastic about teaching her skills to others and I was more than happy being able to learn and perform with her. I definately reccomend Leela if anyone is interested in learning how to Bellydance!’ Adri F.

‘Leela is an inspiring bellydancer that will teach you how to shimmy in no time! She keeps her students motivated and moving with her celebratory spirit and guided instruction. I have been taking classes with Leela since 2005 and it’s addictive. Begin your bellydance adventure with Leela and watch your body transform along with your confidence.’ Alekseea L.

‘I have danced with Leela since 2006, and find her classes to be a refreshing blend of traditional belly dance technique combined with several different genres, keeping things interesting and constantly evolving. While most instructors can only show you how to do the choreography, Leela manages to actually teach you, breaking things down in such a way that even the most uncoordinated will come out surprised with their new found abilities. With that said, the emphasis is always on having FUN. Regardless of your age or ability level, it is worth the experience to come and find your inner goddess for at least an hour a week!’ HelenMarie S.

‘I have been studying belly dance on and off forever, and Leela is the best teacher I have ever had in the Los Angeles area. She is an astonishingly creative choreographer, so dancers at every level look and feel beautiful while dancing her numbers. She has a wild sense of humor, making every class a hoot! as well as a great workout. Sign up for one of her classes now — you’ll be glad you did.’ Jane R.
