Story and photos by Ray Bash
Birnur’s Belly dance classes are a great way to sweat your way into losing weight and getting in shape, working the entire body while learning the perfect posture, alignment, balance, rhythm, grace -- all the wonderful techniques and spirit of a dancer.
“Never underestimate the mind of a dancer,” she says. “It works like a computer to execute all the elements that go into a movement, coordinating music, space, steps, balancing, awareness of every element of your body, proper breathing and, of course, bringing forth your spirit and expression.”
She works closely with her students to teach them the joy of moving like a tiger or a snake, their body, mind, spirit and heart gracefully in tune.
“We shimmy and release all the stress. We get in touch with every single joint in our body and open up. The more we practice, the more we get back our body youth. With that comes the joyful spirit of youth. That’s why belly dancers look at least ten years younger than their actual age.”
According to Birnur, you work your whole body, and, at the same time, feel sexy. The moves are natural to the human body. Belly dance is the oldest dance form that exists. “You feel sexy because you feel healthy. You become in touch with every part of your body, and, in my classes, flirtatious dance expressions are a part of the routine!”
Men benefit as much as women in her classes. As students learn to move in their best element, they gain back self-confidence. Every person in class has her/his self expression and she encourages individuality in her students.
Birnur Siren followed her heart and passion in dance eight years ago, leaving behind a career as a marketing executive – and hasn’t looked back since.
She decided to focus on Belly Dancing, for many reasons. She says, “Not only is it a great whole-body workout -- low-impact so people of any age can enjoy it -- but it is very empowering at the same time. We live in an age where women are getting back in touch with their feminine power, looking for ways to embrace and assert it.”
Birnur Siren is a renowned belly dance performer and instructor, originally from Istanbul, Turkey. She teaches Belly Dance classes at the New Age Center at 1 South Broadway, Nyack, New York. Classes are Beginner/Open Level, on-going and cost $18 per drop-in class or $84 for a six-class package valid over a period of two months. No dance experience is necessary. Mention this article and get a free intro class in June 2011.
Birnur also develops talent to perform with her dance company, the Siren Dancers. Private lessons can be arranged to prepare students for performances.
She certifies belly dance teachers through “BMTS” Bamboomoves-The Siren Belly Dance Teacher Certification Courses™. For more information, contact her at 646.373.0337 or e-mail Birnurdance@yahoo.com

“It was amazing! I loved every minute of it. Not only did I learn some awesome dance moves, but I was sweating in the process and had fun the entire time. I can’t wait for the next class. I am so excited to go back! “ Nastassja Ocasio
“ Great fun and great exercise! ” Jenny
"Birnur, I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful session of belly dance lessons. I never belly danced before and was not sure I would be able to learn. You are a wonderful teacher and I think I really have the feel and the foundation now for belly dancing. I would have never believed how far a beginner could come in only six weeks and it is all due to your amazing talent, not only in dancing, but also your patient and competent instruction. See you in July-- Dawn "
