Studio Booseh

I would highly recommend Studio Booseh to anyone who wants a fun, exciting workout for all skill levels and backgrounds! I came to Studio Booseh with low levels of physical activity and dancing skills and a couple of months later, I feel like a new person!
Souzan is so talented and encouraging and will help you get where you need to go. Don’t be afraid if you come in with absolutely no dancing skills or experience– you will leave with them!

Customer service is key! I love my summers at Studio Booseh and how it was my one stop for tightening my belly without knowing I’m working out and keeping my skin healthy and rejuvenated.
Don’t get me wrong, belly dancing is now all in the park, but quite the workout. With Souzan who’s apparently been dancing since she was a little girl the technique age teaches will leave you with the solid ground you need to get better and better!:)
Also, her skin care is awesome! I have been struggling with adult acne for years and tried everything in the book. With her in charge, my bank didn’t break (b/​c let’s face it, if you want results you MUST follow up with product at home), and she has left my skin feeling smoother and smoother after every facial session.
Love this place!
P. s.- thanks for the posters and directions, my butt would’ve gotten lost like miss lady that wrote the negative review, based on how hard it was to find. :-/​It’s really worth a second shot, I’m sure she won’t let you down!

Although I am not new to belly dancing, Studio Booseh has rekindled that fire I once had in my belly for this beautiful dance. I stopped taking belly dance lessons about 9 years ago, because I forgot how much I enjoyed it and the overall benefits belly dancing provided to my health and mood. However, after only three weeks at Studio Booseh, I’ve already noticed an immediate change in my posture and my confidence. And, these immediate benefits are only the beginning.
I attend Souzan Mill’s cardio belly barre class twice a week and Sepi’s belly dance beginner classes on Wednesday evenings. Souzan Mills, the founder of Studio Booseh, started belly dancing right around the time she learned how to walk. Or so it seems, because Souzan truly knows her craft and this reflects in her instruction. She is a certified personal trainer, is very patient with all of her students, and makes belly dancing truly enjoyable.
Sepi’s class teaches belly dance beginners the fundamentals of hip drops, rolls, pivots, circles, figure eights, snakes arms, and shimmies. Her class is small, so it feels like personal instruction. This is really good, because Sepi can really pay attention to your posture and movements, which is key to your success. Knowing proper posture and dance movements are very important in belly dancing and necessary for you to become more balanced and poised. I also recommend belly dance beginners to try Sepi’s class before you attend Souzan’s cardio belly barre class, because Souzan’s class attracts students with mixed levels of experience. Therefore, Souzan cannot spend as much one-​on-​one time with her belly dance beginners. One evening with Sepi was enough for me to try cardio belly barre with enough confidence to keep up. However, regardless, you are still welcomed to attend Souzan’s class if you are new, and she does also offer private instruction.
There are two other classes at Studio Booseh: belly dance technique intermediate/​advanced, and Zumba. I have not had a chance to attend these classes personally, but I hear wonderful things about them as well.
Finally, anyone can enjoy the benefits of belly dancing since it is appropriate for all ages, and it is a weight-​bearing dance form (since you are always on your feet). Belly dancing tones your muscles, improves posture, and helps prevent back pain and osteoporosis. In the past, I learned a form of American tribal style; I believe Souzan and Sepi teach a combination of Egyptian and Turkish styles. Souzan’s Tuesday night and Saturday cardio belly barre class combines pilates, belly dancing, and barre work.
For a monthly membership at a reasonable price, you can explore all of the classes anytime you want. Personally, I find it is better to exercise in groups than to go to a gym and work out alone. This keeps me more motivated. Also, if you are coming from work and need to change your clothing before class, the studio has a very clean bathroom located inside.
As for the students at Studio Booseh? Well, they are all friendly, no one is treated as an outsider, and everyone is greeted with a smile!

I learned about Studio Booseh through Living Social… and was pretty excited.
Unfortunately, the location is so hard to find that my girlfriend and I were actually late to class. The address given on the website is not quite accurate and the directions page is a broken link. The studio is located in the basement in back of the building (not street front location) … and there are very few lights to help locate it.
Studio Booseh is a small one room studio from what I could tell. I did not see a restroom and coming from work, we had to change in a basement hallway nook outside the studio.
I will come back to review the actual belly dancing class after attending one more… Apparently, even though this is a beginners class, we missed out on lessons taught in past beginners classes??? stay tuned.

I am a regular at Studio Booseh and have been going there for Belly dance for 2 years now. I have been training with Souzan mostly, but also with the other instructors at Booseh. Souzan is the owner and has years and years of dance and performance experience. She is also a personal trainer and nutritional advisor. When i walk out of the studio after a good workout i just feel motivated. Belly dance is the best way to get in shape while having fun and making new friends. Souzan is a patient teacher and breaks down the moves clearly. But as a student you need to be patient too and consistant with your workout in order to achieve and maintain results. But the reaults are amazing. My shape has indeed changed. I have so much definition especially in my obliques which has narrowed my waist which in turn makes my hips look more feminine. Even in my shoulders, arms and legs too the transformation is visible. I remember seeing results after 3 to 4 months of training. And after 6 months the changes were there without doubt. After a year of training I was asked by a total stranger if I was a dancer, it was that obvious. I was going at least 4 to 5 times a week for belly dance. But it’s a fun and enjoyable workout and not a drag at all. I think I even stand taller now. After 2 years, i am so much more flexible and have a lot more strength and balance. I dont think there is any other exercise out there capable of carving your body the way belly dance drills do. Souzan has a great way of combining dance moves with fitness exercises to actually expedite the transformations. And it’s such a feminine form of dance and it will make you feel good about yourself and comfortable about your body no matter what shape and form you have because it brings out the goddess in you.
During the 2 years that I’ve been training for belly dance I have seen how other students who have been regulars, as well, have become toner and leaner and more confident. The students are friendly at Booseh. Being a part of studio Booseh feels like belonging to Booseh family. We have parties and events from time to time and know each other on first name basis. Our Belly dance community at Booseh is tight. It has become a second home to so many of us throughout the years.

By far the best workout place. It has everything dance, fitness, spinning, nutrition and skincare. I love the bellydance classes taught by Souzan! She keeps the place spic and span and the dance studio floor is always kept clean because of her personal touch.
