Workshops & retreats
Belly dance workshops and retreats
With Ana Isis at Flora Flow in Colares, Sintra. The first dates open in January 2027.
Belly dance workshops
Ana gives workshops and retreats, not regular classes. Each date has its own programme and price, which varies from event to event, and is listed in the Flora Flow agenda.
“These workshops are an ode to woman, a journey to explore and celebrate our femininity, as well as our masculine energy, dancing together in your self.”
Ana Isis, 2020
For Ana this dance is for everyone: in 2019 she published a video called “Bellydance is For All!”, and in 2022 she announced a belly dance workshop for all ages.
Women's retreats and a monthly circle
At Flora Flow, Rua dos Brejos 69, Colares, Ana holds women's retreats and a monthly circle. Dates are announced in the Flora Flow agenda; to hear about the next ones, message Ana on WhatsApp. Residential retreats are for groups of 6 to 12 people.
She has brought yoga and belly dance together before, in a one-day retreat in Cascais in January 2020.
A workshop for your group
Gather at least 7 friends and propose a date: Ana gives a belly dance workshop just for your group, at Flora Flow or at a place you suggest. Hen parties are welcome too. Workshops are open-level, in Portuguese or English, and end with a free dance.
To propose a date, write to her on WhatsApp with the number of people and your preferred date.

What should I wear?
For her 2022 “Deusas” workshop, Ana asked for comfortable clothes: leggings are fine, but ideally a long skirt or a long dress. Check on WhatsApp for each date.
