Hello my friends in belly dance and costume. Welcome to the Studio Davina November Patreon Classes, Demos and Workshops.
I’m almost entirely back on my feet after struggling through an illness. I’m a one-woman shop here at Studio Davina. I really appreciate all my friends, fans, and followers on Patreon for giving me the grace to heal.
My classes, demos, and workshops are all located over on Patreon. I offer three monthly informational and instructional demos/talks along with a free informal coffee chat
Subscribing is like buying a monthly class card to study with me. Best part, for less the cost of three cups of coffee, you can gain access to everything.
November Patreon Offerings:
- Free Coffee Chat – Click the Video Above to Watch!
- Show and Tell $3 – Level Özel’s “The Belly Dancer in You” Book flip and biographical information about this legendary Turkish belly dance star.

Patreon: What’s up Next? December 2024
Patreon classes are released during the last week of the month. In December, this is sometime between Christmas and New Years. Watch for topics:
- Coffee Chat – Studio reorganization, destashing project, and plans for 2025
- Book Flip – “Style File” a breakdown of what is moving to “Costuming from the Hip: 30” and what is not making the cut.
- Sewing Demo – Shalimar’s “Blue Mermaid” – Building the master to:do list, order of construction, shopping my stash, appliqué design and planning.
- Belly Dance History Talk – New Series Starting “Dancing Down the Midway: 1893” – In Part 1 we are setting the stage, discussing the venues where patrons of the fair could see cultural performances.
I’m very happy to be back on my feet!
But I’m simply over the moon to be back at my desk working.
Thank you for your continued support of my work in belly dance costuming and history. Happy holidays!
