Who is AnimA Sanktuarium for?
AnimA Sanctuarium is for you if:
– You feel caught in routine and rarely do something just for yourself
– You want to feel more alive, grounded, and present in your body
– You’re craving softness, fluidity, and mindful movement
– Traditional fitness, gym workouts, or structured classes don’t resonate with you
– You don’t have the capacity for long, exhausting sessions — but still want to move regularly
– Your schedule is busy or unpredictable, and you need a format that adapts to your life
– You’ve never danced before, but feel a quiet pull toward movement
– You’re drawn to something aesthetic, ritual-based, and immersive
– You’re looking for a place where you can slow down, breathe, and simply be yourself
– You want to explore Tribal Fusion Bellydance as a living, expressive practice.
Why this format works
AnimA Sanctuarium is built around short, focused practices - not long classes that require perfect timing or a lot of energy.
Each video lasts around 15 minutes, allowing you to move even on busy days, without pressure or exhaustion.
You can practice in the morning, late at night, or whenever your body feels ready.
There’s no need to “catch up” or follow a strict schedule.
You return to movement when you can - and that consistency, even in small doses, creates real change.
This format supports regular practice, nervous system regulation, and a deeper connection with your body - without asking you to restructure your life around dance.
You are not practicing alone.
Alongside the pre-recorded 15-minute practices, you become part of a supportive circle of participants - a shared space where you can ask questions, share experiences, and stay connected.
Each month includes a live session, where we practice together in real time, and a dedicated Q&A session to support your process, answer questions, and help you navigate your practice with more clarity and confidence.
This combination of short self-paced practices and regular live connection creates both freedom and support — allowing you to move at your own rhythm while staying held within a community.
AnimA Sanctuarium is a place to slow down, breathe,
and come back to yourself through movement.
In AnimA Sanctuarium, you can explore Tribal Fusion Bellydance - even from zero:
-
– with a focus on yourself, your body, and your inner state
– through a unique aesthetic and ritual-based atmosphere
– without endless hours of training or pressure
– in short, accessible practices that fit into real life
– while being part of a supportive community of creative women -
AnimA Sanctuarium can become your first step —
a place where you reconnect with movement, build confidence, and understand whether you want to go deeper. -
From here, you may later choose to continue your path through courses, creative projects, or performance formats — but without rush, obligation, or pressure.
Dance as a magical way back to yourself
🌙 We all come from childhood
We used to read fairytales with wonder. Every day felt magical.
We believed in secret powers and mysterious transformations.
I invite you into my fairytale world of AnimA Fusion Dance —
to create your own magic, your own story, where you are the heroine.
This is about:
– a body that awakens gently and gradually
– transformation — not into someone else, but into yourself
– femininity and sensuality
– joy from the process, not from “doing it right”
– connection with yourself — physical, alive, real
– confidence in any situations that comes from within
– a state where you don’t have to pretend
– returning to yourself
AnimA Sanctuarium is a space to move gently, breathe deeply,
and stay connected to yourself — through regular practice.

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, 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.

❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ABOUT THE COURSE
Is AnimA Sanktuarium suitable for beginners?
Yes — AnimA Sanctuarium 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 Sanctuarium suitable if I already dance Tribal Fusion Bellydance?
Yes.
Many experienced dancers - including teachers - use AnimA Sanctuarium 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 is the course taught in?
All group 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 Sanctuarium different from other dance platforms?
AnimA Sanctuarium 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 Sanctuarium is designed to be a base - a place you return to regularly, whether you are a beginner, an experienced dancer, or a teacher.
