What I do? Who I am?
Teaching a variety of styles incorporating Egyptian and Middle Eastern moves. (often known as Raqs Sharki, or Oriental Dance)
Every teacher has her own style of dance.
I believe in having fun in a safe and comfortable environment.
I will teach you the exoctic art of the veils. Using "veil work" it will tone and build arms, shoulders and upper body.
Zils will promote strength and independence of the fingers, and having learnt all aspects of the dance, muscular "isolations",
(the ability to move various muscles or muscle groups independenty), will in due course, become and feel very natural.
Being a mother, I am well aware of conflicting pregnancy, and birth information!! I had never heard that
bellydance would benefit me while carrying a child. Never had anyone mentioned that, if I knew certain "techniques" (movements), I could infact have a easier pregnancy and birth!!
Putting all I know, about belly dancing into practice, with my last pregnancy, in my opinion, I did infact have a
good pregnancy. Well, I taught classes and danced until I was 8½ months!! I did not get the dreaded backache I suffered previously, and not a varicous vein insight!! I maintained my weight, (I could do with losing a little now though... I'm only human) but, I generally felt really good. Dreading the birth, of course!
I tried the "techniques" I heard so much about, and yes, it's true...
Until "the final important bit", the birth was easier than I remember, less painful, and quicker!!
So, if your more than 12 weeks pregnant, and the doctor permits, bellydancing could be for you too?

MY CLASSES
Let me tell you a bit more about my classes. As you can see from the photo to your right, I do not expect the full costume to be worn!! Comfortable clothes for this comfortable atmosphere.
I maintain a friendly - easy to understand lesson.
I begin all my classes with a "warm up" and start from the beginning! So dont worry, I like to take my time. I aim for beginners, and build up until you find your level, and your own style.
There is no need to book for a lesson, just turn up. I have a good understanding of how it feels to be a "new face" (we have all been there). It will not take you long to feel right at home within my classes... Promise!
After we have reached a level, and feel we want to progress, hey presto, I will introduce you to the veils. This exciting and sometimes very sensual dance, will bring out the feminine side hidden within us all. Building upper body, tone and strengthen muscles you never knew you had.
Also, it is my priority that, we will have fun and laughter as we learn and explore the world of "props". Zills, Canes and Candles?
