The Goddess Store & Studio

I have been coming to goddess for years. If you ask me it’s the best bellydance studio in south florida. I recommend to everyone. Try the cardio bellydance Sunday mornings, talk about burning calories! While learning technique at the same time

I learned of this place from Facebook. I had decided to pay a visit, being I was interested in many of the performances they had lined up for a fundraiser event. The business offers many different classes from belly dancing, yoga, to African drumming etc. The store also sells many interesting items from incense to belly dancing clothes, DVD’s, Music to books. There store has all kind of beautiful paintings on their walls, spiritual statues and an eastern inspired décor.
When I had entered this place I had no idea what kind of personages to expect. Once reaching the back of the store where a large studio area is located there was a large convergence of people from all walks of life. There was lots of very loud synchronized African drumming with varying choreographed dancing, the performance was visually and acoustically pleasing. Many people in the audience were getting into spirit and participating in the dance sporadically. There also a woman from North Africa who performed Egyptian style belly dancing with alluring sexiness and she was awesome. The last show I caught was a Capoeira Angola performance that was very intriguing, especially the interesting Angolan instrument he was using to play music.
The whole night was very impressive I really enjoyed myself even though I got there 2 hours late and missed some of the shows I really wanted to see. I was also able to buy a few items, some kind of sea big shell to use for smudging (clearing out ones house or location of negative energy with sage), a sage stick, and a much sought after rare DVD animation of the Ramayana, an ancient Indian epic.

very bad!
today was my first experience with them! i came at 12.00 so they said class gonna start.
I god there and one lady (costumer) was staying next to the door. the door was closed. The lady said they always late. Another girl came with a 4 years old kid. we r waiting.
12.10. — The trainer (Effy) showed up. she had no key to the door! How we gonna get in? she said we have to wait for the owner to come and open the door. ok. we are waiting.
12.20. the first lady gave up and went home. the girl with the kid ask trainer to watch the kid (probably she is a friend of the trainer) and she left.
I ask the trainer how long we have to wait. she said probably another 15 minutes. I said if i wait will she still have a class? she said she don’t know. and she is playing with kid and not paying attention to me at all.
12.30 the owner showed up. trainer still outside playing with kid. I ask the owner «r we still gonna do class». she said «she don’t know if the trainer gonna do it»!!! can you imagine??? the owner said that! she went to the trainer who is still playing with kid and ask her in spanish if she gonna do class «ella quiere» and showing on me. the owner start playing with kid. so they been there for 2 minutes together playing with kid. and I am standing next to the door all that time. so went inside together passing me and not saying me anything.
I think it is so disrespectful and stupid from their side!!! i just turn around and left. 30 minutes ago I was ready to sign up for 10 classes and spend $ 100. Their lost.

This is a great place to honor the goddess with in! They teach belly dancing and have belly dancing clothes their as well. They have a pretty good selection however I think some of the clothes are a lil over priced. They are the only place I have found that sell bindi’s which are great to wear anytime in my opinion. The owner is super nice and really made me feel like wasn’t just a customer but a true Goddess. Girls go their and take some classes or adorn yourself with their jewelry or clothes or men treat your girl to something from here to really honor the Goddess!
