DanceCraft

- The Lake House, 1202 Kenlake Ave, Spring Hill, FL 34606

Welcome to DanceCraft, a vibrant and close-knit community of dancers located in the heart of Spring Hill, Florida. More than just a place to learn dance, DanceCraft is a cultural hub where women of all ages and backgrounds come together to explore the beautiful art of belly dance in a welcoming and supportive environment. Our focus is on Folkloric Improv Belly Dance and ATS/FCBD (American Tribal Style/Fat Chance Belly Dance), two unique styles that emphasize group improvisation and a strong sense of community. Led by the encouraging and inspiring instructor Jayne Arrington, DanceCraft is a place where you can not only learn a new skill but also find a group of friends who will support you every step of the way.

The atmosphere at DanceCraft is truly special. As one member shared in her review, she has "met many beautiful women inside and out" and feels that everyone in the group "considers each member a sister." This sense of camaraderie is a core part of the DanceCraft experience. The studio provides a non-judgmental space where you can learn without fear of being criticized, a feature that many new students appreciate. The instructor, Jayne, is celebrated for her ability to "break each step down into easy to remember segments," making the learning process enjoyable and accessible for everyone, from beginners to advanced dancers. The community extends beyond the studio, with members enjoying group "excursions" and other activities that strengthen their bonds.

DanceCraft's unique approach to belly dance is what makes it so appealing. Our signature style, DanceCraft Belly Dance (DCBD), is a Folkloric Influenced Group Improv Belly Dance that draws influence from a multitude of cultures around the Mediterranean, the Middle East, North Africa, Spain, and India, among others. This style is a uniquely modern creation that represents the American spirit of women working together in support of one another. We also specialize in ATS/FCBD®, which is a highly recognized group improv dance style that relies on subtle cues to change up movements and formations. This focus on group improvisation fosters a sense of teamwork and trust, making it a truly collaborative and empowering experience.

DanceCraft is based at The Lake House, a beautiful community venue located at 1202 Kenlake Ave, Spring Hill, FL 34606, USA.
