Yasmina La Roche

History

Yasmina began teaching in Reno back in 1994 and presenting teaching dance classes from group to private lessons. She is the choreographer and artistic dance director to Troupe de La Roche and Troupe Jasmine. Yasmina brings a life time of experience to her classes not only teaching the true essence of the dance, but passes on the knowledge that was given to her from her teacher. From the beginning of her dance career, she has always looked for the beauty in the dance, always showing dignity and pride with love for everyone. Belly dance gives us a sense of achievement, skill and control over our bodies; learning to move gracefully, gain positive self-image. This is a beautiful form of art that honors life.
