Jaime’s first exposure to bellydance was just as another workout, but when she came across it again in 2008, she was ready to accept all the gifts it had to offer.  Her posture, attitude, appearance…her very presence changed.  Bellydance is an excellent form of exercise but the discovery and celebration of your femininity and the confidence that comes along with it are the greatest gifts.  Join Jaime and treat yourself to gentle hips sways, luxurious chest circles, and evocative gestures to reveal the goddess inside you.

Every Saturday from 4-5pm starting January 28th!

WAPT in Jackson included Salsa Mississippi in a special on dance and fitness in the state.

“The smooth moves of the dancers at the Salsa Mississippi Dance Studio in Fondren may look easy, but dancers said that a salsa workout is better than the gym.

“‘It works your legs, your arms, places you didn’t even know it would work,’ dancer Joe Spencer said.

“’When you dance with a partner, you are constantly moving. You are sweating. Your heart rate is racing and you are having fun,’ instructor Sujan Ghimire said.”

“After moving to Mississippi, Sarah and Sujan were surprised to find they could make a living off of their hobby – dancing. Although the dance community in Jackson was limited, Sarah and Sujan opened a successful dance studio called Salsa Mississippi, and they’ve built a home surrounded by a community of friends and dancers.”

The Jackson Free press featured this article about Salsa Mississippi.

“Salsa—or salsaaaaa as it should be said (and loudly, too)—means “sauce” in Spanish. The word has become associated with a style of music and dance with a racy uptempo and a sexy, spicy attitude. Cuban in origin, but culturally adaptable, the salsa dance movement started simmering in the United States in the 1950s and got really hot by the mid-1970s.”

There’s an energy to dance that is…well, it’s hard.
