Mary Donnelly has taught belly dance for over ten years on the Central Coast, and she and her World Dance Company have performed at festivals and events up and down the west coast.
She loves to support local arts groups, and has performed at fundraisers for the arts including the Gilbert Reed Ballet Company, Cal Poly Arts, SLO Art Center and many more. She is a recipient of the San Luis Obispo Arts Council’s Arts Honors Day Award, and through her family friendly performances she has contributed thousands to local community and world causes including Habitat for Humanity, Amnesty International, and PLAN. Performing with the incredibly talented Central Coast Follies is another passion in her life.
Her belly dance classes include a fusion of cabaret, tribal, folkloric, veil work, and finger cymbal work. As you dance with Mary, you will fall in love with the beautiful Middle Eastern music, with its unique rhythms and exotic melodies. Fun and laughter are always her goals for every class. No experience is required, so come and discover (or rediscover) the joy of bellydancing every Tuesday evening from 5:00 to 6:30 at the beautiful Studio de Myriam.
