This T.V. show most likely used the owner and founder, Donita Nahon, as the platform for the show. If you have the will, determination and passion for ballet dancing, Donita Ballet School is your only option. Donita is tireless in her efforts to create elegance; use what you have to offer; and further your ballet dancing. As a student from the age of 4, and now almost 40, Donita has shaped my life. Still dancing and I know I can.

Dragonfly Dance is dedicated to bringing quality bellydance instruction in Toronto that is open to creative exploration while keeping great respect for the traditional forms of the dance. Our focus is versatile. While our foundation is Oriental Raqs Sharki, composed by both Egyptian and American Oriental styles, our classes spring from a vision that is open to the exploration of diverse styles: from the traditional rich folklore variety of the Middle East to the modern developments of Bellydance fusion and the enthralling images of Bellydance fantasy. Our view of bellydance is spiritually and creatively inspiring, free in its exploratory component, yet grounded in a deep understanding of the roots of the dance. Dragonfly Dance is a unique school, forming students in traditional Egyptian Dance but also well rounded artists knowledgeable and skilled in different international bellydance styles and both traditional and modern bellydance props.
