return to home (604) 321-2296 Vancouver, Canada Two ancient forces live within every woman; they combine to create the mysterious, passionate woman. Whereas the force most often promoted is the soft, sympathetic and civilised one, the other, often ignored side, is sometimes fiery, passionate and uncivilised. When both sides are given room to express and grow, a woman can enjoy all her strength, energy and wholeness. Dancing is a way to feel and express all emotion. Through the passion of dancing, the barriers between mind and body evaporate. Inner beauty and strength can emerge and be reclaimed, and the heart can open to self and others. click photos to enlarge In sharing my love of dance with women, I aim to assist each woman to recognize the beauty in herself and in others, no matter what age, shape or size, learning firstly the 'spirit' of bellydance & it's powerful historical connections in a positive, accepting environment. I teach beginner/intermediate bellydance classes, with a focus on the holistic woman and a history of women’s dance. Although bellydancing is based on particular techniques, each woman eventually comes to shape and create her own style and to reveal her own unique personality through this dance.
