about Najla (aka Naj)

The Dancers of Eclypse are likewise blessed to have Phoenix's lively, lovely Naj as their troupedirector and group instructor. Naj is the Belly Dance Instructor for the City of Phoenix's Parks and Recreation Department at Sunnyslope Community Center in Northeast Phoenix, Naturally Woman's Spa and her own studio. She has performed for delighted audiences at many Phoenix area venues, for both public gatherings and private parties.This playful, versatile dancer has her students dancing and having FUN with such ease that  class time flies by much too fast! A student of dance all her life, Naj entered the world of Middle Eastern Dance 17 years ago.

It didn't take her long to fall in love with La Danse Orientale, and it quickly became a passion.  Naj communicates this passion in her role of instructor/mentor as a way of inspiring her students on their journey along the path of learning. One can't help but pick up on her heartfelt enthusiasm for Belly Dance, and her sincere desire to pass along to others the Joy that it's brought into her life. Naj's love of the culture and costuming of the Dance eventually led to her commitment to find and offer reasonably priced, top quality merchandise to her students. She's now pleased to be able to offer these goods in limited quantities to on-line friends through www.bellydanceshoppe.com.  She is the author  and webmaster of this site.
