RakasaFit Worldwide

RakasaFit Worldwide RakasaFit™ is a fun, comprehensive, effective, and uniquely feminine workout encompassing belly dance movement with strength-based cardio. All levels welcome.

Each class includes a warm-up, belly dance workout combinations infused with strength-based cardio, and a deep cool-down stretch.

Belly Dance Arts, Fitness, and Global Community

Directed by Suzanna Davis, Suzanna & Friends brings belly dance to the people through fitness-oriented classes and award-winning multicultural events. These take place in a variety of settings, from parks and outdoor theatrical concerts to indoor halls, community spaces, and cabarets.

RakasaFit is the fitness program by Suzanna & Friends, a merge of belly dance and core fitness and a celebration of feminine strength and movement. Whether you're a belly dancer or just want to move like one, the fluidity and strength you build in this class enhances all activities. Suzanna & Friends has produced and collaborated on hundreds of shows since 2004, and is best known for Belly Dance Off and Cinderella-A Global Story, produced in more than 8 venues and mixing a variety of talent, including dance with live music, theatre, and audience participation.

Through global travels and a broad spectrum of study, Suzanna continues to see the profound intersections of all forms, and belly dance especially, which consists of the fundamental shapes and vibrations of which our universe consists. She also considers world dance and music a medium to peace and understanding that transcends dialogue.
