| Biography | I
believe that this dance form has something for everyone, regardless
of age or ability. Through bellydance I have seen amazing things happen
for all sorts of people. Everyday, I see women in motion, and in dance,
I see them being truly dynamic! My journey into Middle Eastern dance began in 1995 with early instruction from teachers Keti Sharif and Angela Irwin in Perth. I moved from student to performer with the Mystique Bellydance Academy in 1998. With a keen interest in the concepts of community dance, which aims to involve women and children in dance regardless of their level of experience, I conduct dance & dance fitness classes for adults and children, workshops for schools, community groups, seniors groups and people with disabilities. Regular attendance at workshops with instructors from overseas, eastern states and local teachers, as well as other relevant courses, ensures my skills are practised, expanded and kept up to date. Other studies include a Certificate in Dance Teaching from Queensland University, Community Dance studies with Ausdance and fitness studies at the Australian Institute of Fitness. I'm a World Dance Aerobics master instructor and member of the assessment panel for the A-Z training programs. What's really imprtant to me as a teacher is to ensure participants not only receive tuition in a safe dance environment, but enjoy their dance experience in a fun and supportive atmosphere. |
