Types taught: I teach a mixture of Egyptian, Arabic, and Turkish Oriental dance with elements of Tribal belly dance / ATS Fusion, Bhangra/Bollywood, Polynesian, veil work, and prop work.

Interesting information:

Oriental dance (belly dance) is a great way to enjoy a different approach to keeping fit.

As well as becoming more flexible and building muscle tone it is a superb way to de-stress and enjoy a sociable, fun activity that anyone can do!

The group work revolves around learning new techniques, devising and practicing new dances, and experimenting with fusion styles and prop work.

I also love creating a friendly relaxed environment where everyone feels welcome and comfortable to give it a go. Beginners are welcome.

Other additional information

I have been teaching belly dancing for 6 years, I am a fully qualified teacher and studio fitness instructor.

Belly dancing is a great way to get fit and have fun. It also boosts confidence.

Ladies dance together, enjoy each other’s company, and support and encourage one another.

There are no ‘cliques’, everyone is made to feel welcome and the classes are held in a circle, with no front or back row, to make everyone feel comfortable and to allow everyone to see the instructor (and vice versa!).

Some ladies feel confident enough to perform in public (others are not keen but often come to support the ones who do) and do so at various events, often raising money for charity.
