Throughout history, women have gathered to support, celebrate, and encourage each other through all the stages of life. What better way to celebrate a woman’s marriage or pregnancy than to return to the dance that evolved in women’s circles to support women. Make Bellydance the centerpiece of an unforgettable birthday party, whether she’s turning sweet 16 or celebrating her sixth decade! Let Malik help you combine entertainment, education, and lots of fun into a memorable party! Here are some examples of some Bellydance party packages (though the sky’s the limit!):
Hip Circle Studio Parties
- 30 minutes - warm-up - basic belly dance moves - one dance game
- 45 minutes - all of the above PLUS additional dance game
- One hour - warm-up - basic belly dance moves - short choreography
Package parties can be held at the center or at a location of your choosing. If belly dance isn’t your thing, inquire about our fitness and knitting parties as well! Looking for something to do at work? Malik offers interactive in-service presentations focusing on health, wellness, and self-care! Contact us today to plan your party!

Women business owners supporting each other – that’s what it’s all about! Looking for support from other women business owners? Want to offer support as well? Join the Women’s Business Empowerment Workgroup and get the help you need to move your business to the next phase, while helping others to do the same. Let’s work together to flourish and show the next generation what is possible!
Owning a business, especially as a woman, is hard. It can be isolating. When you come up against problems it can be easy to forget all the wisdom you’ve accumulated along the way and how smart your intuition really is most of the time. The WBEW gives you a chance to benefit from all the wisdom in the room when it comes to fixing/growing/developing your business, AND the chance to feel and share the wisdom you bring to the table while helping the other women in the room. In addition to the problem-solving exercises, each session will feature information on best practices and areas of potential growth & development from Malik – yes, there will be homework.
The members of the workgroup will commit to working together for 6 months, meeting twice a month. Each member’s business is guaranteed the focus at a minimum of one session. Only one business per industry will be included in each workgroup so there is room for honest sharing, and the workgroup is limited to 10 members. The investment to participate in the workgroup is $300 per person.
Raise a real glass around a virtual table! The Hip Circle Happy Hour will be full of all the community of our classes with none of the sweat. 🙂 Come together to laugh or cry (whatever you need) via zoom and find respite in the good company.
