Dancing Through Life...

Kersti Dennis, who dances under the name Amira, has danced her way from a cucumber farm in Estonia's Pōlvamaa directly to Las Vegas's world of entertainment. Raised in the bucolic beauty of South East Estonia's Põlva County, she studied piano, saxophone and guitar, loved art classes, poetry and acting - the stage becoming a second home. During her studies in Tartu, she found her first love - Flamenco Dancing. This same passion accompanied her to America and ultimately to Las Vegas where her interest in belly dancing was born.
Today she has become known as one of the leading proponents and teachers of belly dancing in her home town of Las Vegas as well as overseas.
She doesn't seek fame as a competitive winner of awards, but, rather, wishes that she be remembered as a caring and warm human being as well as for her approach to women's problems, but most of all with respect to her personal teaching style, which is technically detailed, but at the same time encouraging and easy to comprehend.
No other dance form in the world is as old or as deliciously uplifting and emphatically femininely graceful as is belly dancing. Through the art of belly dancing women learn to see themselves from the inside out and not the outside in.
Amira's belly dancing lessons have culminated in several teaching videos/DVDs. "Bellydance 101" has become one of the best selling DVDs in its genre. It has been at the top of the Amazon best seller list for years and belongs to the 5 star category of teaching DVDs. "Bellydance & Yoga for Pregnancy" shares her unique dancing technique teachings and personal experience with all mothers-to-be. Kersti lives in sunny Las Vegas with her husband, daughter Sofie, forty chickens and two cats.

California Estonians and all friends have an unparalleled opportunity to meet with Kersti Dennis, or Amira, at the Los Angeles Estonian House on April 17, 2010 at 12:00 noon, where she will reveal belly dancing secrets and share her dance experiences throughout her life.

After lunch and before the belly dancing class at 2pm - 2.45pm, we will have the opportunity to listen to Merje Alttoa who is visiting Los Angeles.
Merje will speak about the many benefits of eating organic and natural foods and their therapeutic properties. One of which is the antioxidants of noni and blueberries and other natural foods to support the achievement and maintenance of optimal health.

What causes different diseases? Why do some people get ill and others do not? Why has your body suddenly become a problem? Our bodies do not lie, our thoughts and feelings and what we eat affect our whole organism. Food is our energy source. The proper diet and lifestyle can prevent many problems and illnesses.

Amira's belly dancing class will commence after our traditional 12:00 lunch, scheduled for 3:00 p.m. 'till 5:00 p.m., where all interested participants will have an opportunity to add to their northern country's frolicking dance heritage a bit of elegance from southern lands. Attendance at the class is invited and encouraged for both men and women. Dress should be comfortable with yoga attire being ideal. You may dance barefoot, in socks or slippers.
Class Fee $20. There will be a price concession to mothers and daughters.
