our intentions

Hipline, is a Belly Dance Fitness Studio, offering Belly Dance classes designed to improve total body composition, build-up self-confidence, and explore individual creativity. The Studio also offers Yoga Flow and Pilates Mat classes, which share some of the same core principles as Belly Dance, including breathing, centering, control, concentration, muscle isolation, memory and strengthining, posture, flexibility, and purity of form in movement.

It is owned and operated by Gabriela, Samar, and Alexandra Nassar, three first generation Lebanese / Peruvian sisters, who were born and raised in the Bay Area. Samar has an academic background in Art and Music and has performed Belly Dance professionally for 11 years. She has been teaching in the Bay Area for 5 years. Gabriela studied Biology at UC Santa Barbara and her professional career spans the fields of food & beverage product development and public relations. Alexandra, is a continuing her studies in Product Design and Development at San Francisco State University.

Together their goal is to provide a supportive, non-competitive environment for clients to explore the Belly Dance experience and other forms of excercise that support health and wellness. Beyond classes, they will have workshops with guest industry-specific professionals to discuss topics of interest to the health-concious consumer.
