About Me

Voted as the best of Sacramento, Jodette's Belly Dancing Academy has not only provided belly dancing classes since 1962, but also provides belly dancers who are available to show off their talents at respectable parties and events.
Jodette learned authentic gypsy dancing in her childhood during the time her Egyptian father put her in the care of a gypsy tribe. She later moved to Egypt where she learned Egyptian style belly dance in Madame Badia's nightclub watching dancers such as Tahia Karioka. She was later known in Jordan as "The Only Kamelia of Jordan" where she was famous for being the only performer of her time who danced, sang, and acted professionally.
Jodette was the first authentic belly dance teacher in the history of the USA. The one who introduced the Baladi and the Candelabra to the USA.
We at Jodette's Belly Dancing Academy teach authentic belly dancing. All the belly dancers are trained personally by Jodette, who has a number of years experience and has perfected the art beautifully.
Please come visit our academy and see how we conduct classes and how our dancers perform.
