AnimA Sanktuarium is for you if...
✧ You feel caught in routine and rarely make time for yourself
✧ You want to feel more alive, connected, and at home in your body
✧ You miss beauty, creativity, and moments that belong only to you
✧ You crave softness, fluidity, and mindful movement
✧ Traditional fitness, gym workouts, yoga, or pilates don't resonate with you
✧ You don't have the energy for long, demanding classes - but still want to move regularly
✧ Your schedule is busy or unpredictable, and you need a practice that adapts to your life
✧ You've never danced before, but feel a quiet pull toward movement
✧ You're drawn to something aesthetic, immersive, and a little magical
✧ You're looking for a space where you can slow down, breathe, and simply be yourself
✧ You want to explore Tribal Fusion Bellydance
✧ You are looking for a way to reconnect with yourself
AnimA Sanktuarium is a place to slow down, breathe,
and come back to yourself through movement.
Why this format works
Most people don't struggle because they lack motivation.
They struggle because life is full.
Work. Family. Responsibilities. Endless to-do lists.
✧ AnimA Sanktuarium was created for real life.
Instead of long classes that require perfect timing and lots of energy, you'll find short, focused practices that fit naturally into your day.
Each video lasts about to 15 minutes.
Enough to reconnect with your body.
Enough to breathe.
Enough to move.
You can dance in the morning before the world wakes up.
Late at night when the house becomes quiet.
Or whenever you feel the need to return to yourself.
There is no pressure to keep up.
No guilt if life gets busy.
You simply come back when you can.
And those small moments of movement begin to change something.
You feel more present.
More connected.
More alive.
✧ Regular mindful movement has been shown to support emotional well-being, reduce stress, help regulate the nervous system, and strengthen the connection between body and mind.
Because meaningful practice isn't built through perfection.
It's built through consistency, kindness, and returning to yourself again and again.
AnimA Sanktuarium is designed to fit into real life - helping you build a meaningful practice, one small step at a time.
You are not practicing alone
AnimA Sanktuarium is more than a library of videos.
It is a living space shared by women from different countries who are all walking their own path through movement.
Alongside the pre-recorded practices, you become part of a supportive community where you can ask questions, share your progress, celebrate small victories, and connect with others who understand the journey.
✧ Each month, we explore a new theme.
Sometimes it is a technical concept.
Sometimes a quality of movement.
Sometimes a combination, musicality, or a deeper aspect of Tribal Fusion practice.
Alongside the live session, you'll receive additional materials, inspiration, and resources inside the community chat to help you continue exploring the theme throughout the month.
✧ Each month, we meet live.
We dance together.
Explore a new topic.
Practice.
Learn.
And spend time in a space where there is no pressure to be perfect.
You can also bring your questions, receive guidance, and get support whenever you feel stuck or unsure.
Because growth happens more easily when we don't have to do everything alone.
This combination of self-paced practice and live connection gives you both freedom and support - allowing you to move at your own rhythm while staying connected to a circle of like-minded women.
AnimA Sanktuarium is a place where movement becomes a shared journey, not a solitary practice.
A gentle place to begin
In AnimA Sanktuarium, you can explore Tribal Fusion Bellydance from the very beginning.
✧ With a focus on your body, your experience, and your inner state
✧ Through a unique aesthetic, immersive atmosphere, and ritual-inspired approach
✧ Without pressure, perfection, or endless hours of practice
✧ Through short, accessible sessions designed for real life
✧ While being supported by a community of creative and like-minded women
AnimA Sanktuarium can become your first step into the world of Tribal Fusion Bellydance.
A place to reconnect with movement.
To build confidence.
To develop body awareness.
To discover what this dance awakens in you.
And if one day you decide to go deeper, you'll find many paths waiting for you - courses, creative projects, performances, and new experiences.
But there is no rush.
No pressure.
Only your own rhythm and your own journey.
Start where you are. Let the dance unfold from there.

ABOUT YOUR TEACHER
My name is Ethel AnimA - dancer, teacher, and creator of the AnimA Fusion Dance.
I have over 15 years of continuous dance practice, 5000+ hours of teaching, and more than 1200 students around the world.
-
As a guest teacher, I’ve taught at festivals and events in: Poland, Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Hungary, France, Spain, Sweden, Estonia, Honk Kong, Marocco as well as online.
-
I’ve organized 15+ international events, including the Tribal Festival and Luna Tribal Event.
-
As a performer, I’ve danced over 400 times - in solo pieces, group shows, and creative collaborations on the stages of festivals and original productions.
I’ve trained with iconic figures of Tribal Fusion Bellydance and FatChanceBellydance®, including:
Rachel Redfern, Zoe Jakes, Mira Betz, Michelle Sorensen, Ariellah, Violet Scrap, Julieta Maffia, Kira Lebedeva, Nagasita, Sara Lyn Vimana, Olga Meos, Melli Sarina, Moria Chappell, Lamia Barbara, Edenia, Anita Lalwani, Kristin Adams, and many more.
🖤 AnimA Fusion Dance is not just a dance.
It’s my personal movement language - created at the intersection of ritual, dark aesthetics, and feminine expression.
It helps women connect deeply with themselves, feel at home in their bodies, and learn to dance - even if they’ve never danced before.
I’ve developed a unique movement vocabulary called AnimA Shadows.
These expressive yet accessible combinations, based on my experience and style, help you feel the dance from the very first session.
You don’t just learn the movements - you experience them in your body, naturally and with ease.
✨ My approach is based on sensitivity, awareness, and gentle guidance.
I explain in a way that allows your body to understand and internalize the movement.
I create a space where you can meet yourself - without pressure or comparison.
My courses are known for their supportive atmosphere, emotional safety, signature aesthetics, and a deep, non-traditional approach with a dark and mystical flavor.
💫 Why it works:
- Gentle, accessible entry - no stress or overwhelm
- You’ll feel a shift after the very first class
- A caring atmosphere and support throughout and after the course
- You can always ask questions and receive thoughtful answers — during live sessions and in the group chat
- Students often say: this is not just a course - it’s a space where I can truly be myself
❤️ For me, it’s essential that each student opens up and finds her path back to her true self.
I’m here for you - during the course and after.
And I invite you to step into my dance world - and let me be your guide.
WHAT MY STUDENTS EXPERIENCE
Real stories. Real transformations.

❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ABOUT THE SPACE
Is AnimA Sanktuarium suitable for beginners?
Yes - AnimA Sanktuarium is open to all levels.
The video library is clearly structured by categories and levels, so you can choose practices that match your experience, energy, and current needs.
If you’re a beginner, you can start with the basics and move at your own pace.
If you already have dance experience, you’ll find more depth, refinement, and nuance in technique, movement quality, and expression.
You’re free to explore different levels over time - without pressure to “progress” in a fixed order.
Is AnimA Sanktuarium suitable if I already dance Tribal Fusion Bellydance?
Yes.
Many experienced dancers - including teachers - use AnimA Sanktuarium as a space for regular practice, inspiration, and refinement.
Inside, you’ll find a different approach to movement quality, rhythm, and presence.
AnimA Fusion Dance and selected elements of the AnimA Shadows vocabulary offer fresh perspectives, new combinations, and a darker, more artistic way of working with the body.
This is not about relearning basics, but about staying in practice, exploring nuance, and deepening expression over time.
What language are classes taught in?
All classes, pre-recordered videos and the student chat are in English. Don’t worry if your English isn’t perfect - everything is explained clearly, and you can always ask questions.
What if my English is not perfect?
That’s totally fine! I use simple language, visual explanation, and demonstrate every move. Plus, you can always write your questions in the chat or ask me during live sessions - I’ll answer them.
What makes AnimA Sanktuarium different from other dance platforms?
AnimA Sanktuarium is not a course and not a one-time program.
It’s a continuous practice space built for dancers who want consistency, depth, and real connection - without pressure or fixed outcomes.
Here’s what makes it different:
✔ AnimA Fusion Dance - my signature approach, focused on movement quality, fluidity, grounded strength, and ritual aesthetics, adapted for regular practice
✔ Selected AnimA Shadows vocabulary - used here as inspiration and practice material, not as a full training system, allowing you to explore nuance and expression over time
✔ Short, structured practices (15 minutes) - designed to fit into real life and support consistency rather than intensity
✔ Monthly live sessions + Q&A - not just recordings, but ongoing guidance and the ability to ask questions and stay connected
✔ A private members’ chat - for support, sharing, updates, and staying in touch with the community
✔ Priority access and member benefits - early access to new projects, special bonuses, and member-only conditions for courses and programs
✔ An international community of women - dancers at different stages who value depth, aesthetics, and a thoughtful approach to movement
AnimA Sanktuarium is designed to be a base - a place you return to regularly, whether you are a beginner, an experienced dancer, or a teacher.
SCHEDULE & ACCESS
When does AnimA Sanktuarium start and what’s the schedule?
AnimA Sanktuarium is an ongoing practice space, not a fixed-time course.
You get immediate access to the video library after joining and can practice at your own pace, whenever it fits your schedule.
New content is added regularly.
Live practice and Q&A sessions take place once a month on scheduled dates.
All live sessions are recorded and available inside the platform.
There is no weekly timetable - you choose how and when you practice.
What if I live in a different time zone?
No problem.
AnimA Sanktuarium is designed for dancers from all over the world.
If you can’t attend a live session, you’ll have full access to the recordings and can practice at a time that works for you.
You can also ask questions and stay connected through the members’ chat at any time.
Time zone differences won’t limit your access or participation.
Can I learn only from recordings?
Yes.
AnimA Sanktuarium fully supports practice through recordings.
All sessions - including live practices and Q&A - are recorded and available in your members’ space. You can practice anytime, revisit the videos as often as you need, and move at your own pace.
You’ll still have access to support and communication through the members’ chat, even if you never attend live sessions.
PAYMENT & BOOKING
When can I join AnimA Sanktuarium?
AnimA Sanktuarium works on a membership basis.

✔ 1 month - 49 EUR / every month
✔ 3 months - 129 EUR / every three months (≈ 43 EUR per month)
✔ 6 months - 229 EUR / every six months (≈ 38 EUR per month)

EXPERIENCE & RESULTS
What if I’ve never danced before?
That’s absolutely fine.
AnimA Sanktuarium is designed to support beginners from the very first step.
You’ll start with foundational practices, clear explanations, and short sessions that help you build confidence without pressure. Beginner-friendly practice paths will guide you, while you move at your own pace.
There’s no rush and no expectation to “keep up” — you choose how and when to practice.
I’m over 30 - is AnimA Sanktuarium for me?
Yes.
AnimA Sanktuarium is focused on technique, structure, and quality of movement, not age.
Many members are 30+ and value the clear approach to body mechanics, coordination, and consistency. The practices are designed to be precise and adaptable, so you can work with technique at your own pace and depth.
Age is not a limitation - attention, regular practice, and interest in movement quality are what matter.
Do I need to be fit or flexible?
No.
AnimA Sanktuarium does not require a specific fitness level or flexibility.
Practices are built around technique, coordination, and body awareness, with clear structure and options to work at your own pace. Flexibility and fluidity develop naturally through regular practice — they are not prerequisites.
You start where your body is and progress gradually, without pressure.
Do I need special clothes or accessories?
No special outfit is required.
Comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely are enough.
You’re welcome to add accessories or elements of atmosphere if you enjoy it, but it’s completely optional and not required for practice.
Will I get personal feedback?
You can ask questions and receive clarifications during monthly live practice & Q&A sessions, as well as anytime in the members’ chat. I regularly respond to questions and help with technique, understanding, and practice focus.
From time to time, additional options for more personal feedback may be available and announced separately inside the space.
Can I create my own choreography using AnimA Fusion Dance method?
Yes.
AnimA Sanktuarium includes combinations, guided practices, and ready-made choreographies based on the AnimA Fusion Dance approach.
You’ll work with structured movement material that can be:
-
practiced as given,
-
adapted,
-
or used as a base for your own choreography or improvisation.
The focus is on movement logic, transitions, layering, and quality, so you can understand how choreography is built and apply these principles in your own way.
What’s next after AnimA Sanktuarium?
AnimA Sanktuarium is both a place to stay and a place to grow.
Inside the space, new practice videos are added every month, and new topics are explored through combinations, practices, choreographies, and live sessions. This allows your practice to evolve naturally over time.
If you feel ready to go further, AnimA Sanktuarium gently opens the door to the next or parallel steps:
✔ Enigmatic Fusion - Fundamentals and AnimA Shadows vocabulary L1
✔ Shadow of Soul - deeper work with AnimA Shadows vocabulary? layerings and advanced technique
