"I took a chance on an online class, I was very skeptical. I've taken classes before and have been disappointed. Decided to take a chance, SO GLAD I DID!
This is by far one of the best classes I've ever taken online or live. Arielle is just wonderful! She has a fun style of teaching, her personality is infectious, and she does an outstanding job breaking down moves. I would highly recommend her for any level."

Wanna Know More?
If you've felt left out of traditional dance classes, my classes are for you!
I specialize in learning for neurodivergent dancers, beginners, older dancers, plus size dancers, and those with limited mobility. I'm here to help you not just learn dance moves and choreography, but also gain confidence and comfort with your own body.
This platform is a recorded library of all three of my live weekly classes- Belly Dance Fundamentals and Burlesque Fundamentals (beginner level) and Belly Dance Level Up (intermediate level). The full library features 50 choreographies, each with 4+ classes each.
These are Zoom recordings, so is the visual the finest hi def recordings available? No! But the sound is good, and you still get all the magic of the in person classes with a front row view.
My mom and I teach classes in Madison, WI, USA every week, so joining our Teachable platform will also get you every class yet to come, uploaded within 48 hrs of airing. We do all different kinds of belly dance and burlesque styles, so if you like variety, you're in the right place!
If you want a taste of what it's like to take class with me, hit that "enroll now" button and try a free burlesque and belly dance class. You can also preview all the routines currently available, and try my short-form tutorials under "Extras". All bodies are dance bodies, including yours!
Meet Arielle
Hey I'm Arielle Juliette! My pronouns are he/him and she/her and I'm the owner of Dance Life in Madison, Wi, which I run with the help of my mom and an amazing crew of teachers, receptionists and more.
I want to help you have a great time learning, and get on the same side as your body! I believe dance should be fun and accessible, and free of talk of diets, calories and cosmetic benefits of movement. I'll help you make the dance fit your body, and not the other way around!
As someone who struggled with eating disorders and the need to fit a certain image for a long time, I understand having a poor body image and lacking confidence. You're worthy of love and respect in your current body, and I want to help you find that through dance <3
All of my classes are fat positive, ability and gender positive, and culturally informed. Learn more about these beautiful styles of dance as we change how we see ourselves and others!
