About Us
CHANGING THE WORLD ONE SHIMMY AT A TIME
Golden Isles Belly Dance was founded by Elena Markina-Harrison, aka Lena Mikado, an author and belly dancer, back in 2007 in Raleigh, NC. Ever since then, Elena has been teaching at a number of amazing studios in St. Simons Island, GA, until she finally found her "dancing haven" in quaint downtown Brunswick.
Golden Isles Belly Dance is not just a dance school - it's a tribe. This is where girls and women of all ages and from all walks of life come to relax, unwind, wear a ton of sparkly stuff and have a lot of fun!
Our classes are held in sessions that consist of 8 classes during which we learn the basic and advanced belly dance moves, as well as a fun routine that you can show off to your friends (if you like). We have a variety of classes for all levels, and the classes are held at our beautiful studio at 1510 Bay Street in Historic Downtown Brunswick.
In between the sessions, we also hold workshops that focus on learning how to belly-dance with various props - veils, zills, fan veils and even swords.
Even though we encourage signing up for a whole session, drop-ins are always welcome. Click here to check out our schedule and pricing, or watch and subscribe to our YouTube feed below.
