LUNA TRIBAL WORKSHOPS

This is your opportunity to study with Valenteena Ianni (Italy) and Ethel AnimA (Poland) — two days of immersive workshops designed to inspire your dance, deepen your technique, and spark new creative ideas.

You can choose to attend the full weekend, select a few focused workshops, or simply drop in for a single session of concentrated learning.

Valenteena Ianni — renowned Fusion Bellydancer and instructor from Rome — is celebrated for her precise, stimulating teaching style and deeply emotional performances. She is the creator of Karma Echoes (a Fusion Bellydance combo-based vocabulary) and Killer Path, a comprehensive training method for dancers and teachers.

Ethel AnimA — internationally acclaimed performer and teacher — is known for her signature Dark Tribal Fusion style, dramatic storytelling, and vivid stage presence. Creator of the AnimA Shadows dance vocabulary, Ethel blends deep technique with emotion and personal expression, helping dancers unlock their authentic voice through movement.

All workshops are open to both in-person (Krakow) and online participants.
And to ensure you get the most from your learning — video recordings will be available after the event for all attendees.

In Krakow, classes will take place in the heart of the city — Kazimierz — a beautiful, historic district full of charm. After your dance sessions, you can enjoy the local cafes, restaurants, and the rich atmosphere of this vibrant neighborhood.
