Dance du Soleil
Register for Dance du Soleil Technique and Choreography Class
Dance du Soleil Fusion Belly Dance is a captivating and unique dance style featuring movements of bellydance mixed with jazz, lyrical jazz and ballet.
A Legacy: Dance du Soleil curriculum was designed in 2002 by Leyla Soleil and Andrea Love. We have had the immense honor of instructing many beginner through professional level dancers to achieve their dreams for over 20 years!
Our Style: We are technicians and strive to achieve excellence in dance. Students will get a full body experience in our classes, learning not only belly dance isolations and movement, but also footwork patterns, turns, kicks, and more. We believe it is imperative that dancers tune their instrument (their bodies) and therefore, it’s not unusual for us to add dance conditioning into our classes. And be prepared for a lot of stretching!
3 Generations- We are a mother-daughter team! Babette Soleil grew up in the biz accompanying her mom, Leyla Soleil, to gigs all through her childhood. Even more fun- Leyla’s mom was also a belly dancer!!
About the Jazz: Babette Soleil was a professional cheerleader for the Atlanta Blaze, a professional lacrosse team (now retired). Think DCC for belly dancers and get ready to bring it!
Dance du Soleil is honored to partner with Atlanta Fusion Dance in offering classes to Atlanta dancers.
Who should take our classes- We have coached students of all levels, however most dancers will benefit from having some previous experience under their belt. It does not have to be belly dance. It could be ballet, jazz or even other movement arts like yoga and Pilates. If you’re not sure you can always try a class or message Leyla at 404-594-4197 to discuss.
Special Event: Pop Up Valentines Choreography Flow
We’ll be keeping it fun, flowy, and flirty in this onetime dance workshop with Leyla Soleil. Accessible, stylized jazz movement (with some belly dance hips!). And we’re not skipping warmup so dancers can expect to leave feeling fully stretched and invigorated!
This is a great way for students who’ve been wanting to check out the Dance du Soleil style to drop in.
We’ll be grooving to the smooth and sultry sound of Sade!
