About Oreet

Teaching people how to bellydance while getting a workout (and having fun) in a supportive atmosphere is her sweet spot. And when it comes to turning people who thought, I can’t do that! into Oh snap, I really can! or “I’m too fat!” into “Damn I’m fabulous” – she’s the one. Oreet has 20+ years of experience as a fitness instructor plus grew up with art form of bellydance and has led packed classes and workshops in the U.S. and Japan. She’s been featured on NBC, ABC, CBS, and CNN to name a few and have the titles Bellydancer of the Year, Jewel of the Nile, Entertainer of the Year and Middle Eastern Dance Champion of North America. She’s worked with hundreds of women and men who have found success in meeting their fitness goals as well as discovering this new passion called Bellydance! And when Oreet’s not teaching classes or mentoring new instructors you can find her working on her new online project, doing yoga, rolling around with her kids and hubby and sipping wine.

If you’ve just GOT to know more…She’s obsessed with shows about wedding gowns; She’s living proof that you can look bigger than you are on stage! (Even at 4’10. Shhhh..don’t tell); She goes through virtuous spurts of trying to drink 1 glass of wine a week but she has 2 small kids, so ain’t happening. (Don’t judge); And Bikram yoga keeps her sane.
