Anisa’s School of Dance

The studio itself is really nice great atmosphere to dance but anisa herself was extremely rude. I was the only one that showed to her class and it was my first time taking bellydance with her. While taking her class she was making rude comments because i couldn’t shimmy lol and she also had the audacity to answer her phone during class time in which I had payed for her time to learn. Never going back there. Many more humble, patient, talented teachers in the valley or in LA you can learn from.

Really quaint little dance studio right on Ventura, across the street from Guitar Center.
Anisa’s is tucked away behind a gate and on the second floor of a non-​descript building. It was initially a challenge to find, but once inside, you’ll find a cute studio, with several rooms of different sizes. The accommodations are clean and I like the laid back feel. It’s a great place to rent a space for a dance rehearsal, or to teach a dance class.
Of course, bellydance is the focus of this studio, but I take Zumba with Shawnee on Wednesday nights ($ 11). HIGHLY recommend. I’ve been going to Zumba classes for the past 6 years at various studios and Shawnee is hands down, the best. There is plenty of metered street parking on Ventura, and the meters are free after 8PM!

Anisa is an awesome belly dance instructor. I took a class a while ago and am looking forward to taking more classes with her as soon as my schedule opens up. She really knows what she is talking about. She will correct you and won’t let you get by doing it wrong which is what I love. She’s specific on technique. I also took a veil class with her and it was super fun. I learned a lot. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who really wants to learn belly dance!

Thank you Anisa for saving the day! I needed a studio space VERY last minute & Anisa welcomed me with open arms! The space is great, music system is fabulous! I so appreciate your hospitality

This place is excellent! April is great with kids!

I love this studio. It’s small, private, and I love the calming paint colours on the walls. The only thing is Anisa herself is kind of a bitch. Every time I talk to her she’s very rude. I even gave her a compliment one day and she twisted it around to make it seem negative. I’m really glad Anisa isn’t my teacher and I don’t have to deal with her but I still love this studio.

Christy’s ZUMBA class on Saturday mornings are SO MUCH FUN. She’s really easy to follow and you don’t have to be a pro to follow the steps. It’s for anyone — and it really gets you out of your head and into the music. Highly recommend.

I don’t recommend this school.
I went to class through a recommendation and was very disappointed. The teacher wasn’t very encouraging or empowering. I left feeling like I didn’t know how to bellydance and I’ve been dancing for over 5 years. Not a good sign or experience.

Anisa school of dance is this dance school tucked away in Sherman Oaks.
I started classes yesterday for my bellydancing and I really recommend it. You learn movements that have been around for thousands of years and you’re really pushed to work hard and challenge yourself.
I recommend taking Anisa’s bellydance class because she is an amazing dancer, instructor, and she gives great lessons. There are also many wonderful workshops offered at this dance studio.
Anisa has wonderful connections in the bellydance world whether that includes shows, concerts, festivals, workshops… She knows about it all.
Classes are cheap too. $ 15 per class.
