I'm Mary Saunders also know as Lokelani or Auntie Loke. I'm the owner and head teacher of Lokes Looks Music & Dance Studio located in Tracy, CA. I've been teaching music and dance for over 25 years. Born and raised in the State of New York, I began studying dance at the age of 4 and music at the age of 10. I have both a Bachelor of Science in Music Education and a Masters of Education degree. I love watching children and adults as they learn and grow in the Arts and I love seeing the pleasure and fun that my students have while learning. I like to keep all my classes fun by creating a non pressured atmosphere for all who come.
In addition to teaching, I have been sewing and designing Hawaiian clothing for over 20 years and recently starting making Belly Dance Costumes. You can find some of my designs in my boutique located inside the studio. I also custom make items for special occasions like the hip belt I made for Miss Fiji, so come see me next time you have a special event. Mahalo, Mary Saunders/Auntie Loke
Lokes Looks Music & Dance Studio is located: 1195 W. 11th St. Tracy, CA 95376 (Pink Bldg across from Smart & Final and Blockbuster)
Hi! I'm Ms. Shelly and I love to dance. I teach both group and private Belly Dance lessons here at Lokes Looks. I have studied Belly Dancing for the past two years under the direction of Ms. Mary. I really love performing.Along with Ms Mary, I have been dancing at various private and public events throughout Tracy including the Downtown Arts Festival and the Bean Festival. I really enjoy choreographing and teaching here at Lokes Looks.My love for dance has also brought me to learn other dance styles offered at Lokes Looks including the Hula/Tahitian dances.
