Welcome!
Welcome to Belly Jewels - I created this website as a place for me to post information regarding classes & workshops I teach. In addition, you'll find photos, links and even my 'blog' when I have time to update it!
I have been dancing for around 6 years now, and have been teaching for around 5 years. I love all things to do with belly dancing- the music, costumes, fusion of styles... I could go on and on! I love the fact that it brings together women (and occasionally men!) of all ages, sizes, abilities, who enjoy dancing together for fun and exercise.
I began learning to belly dance with Georgia, who still teaches in Redditch, but also took classes with other local teachers to learn a variety of styles and technique.
I now teach 4 times a week, predominently modern egyptian/turkish cabaret, although I enjoy experimenting with tribal fusion and other dance styles such as bhangra/bollywood. I am constantly progressing and adapting my personal dance style as I attend regular work shops and study moves and techniques to bring to my classes. I have enjoyed attending workshops with some excellent teachers, including Maria D'Silva, Ozgen, Jillina, Moria and Kami of the BDSS & Khaled to name a few.
I get immense pleasure from teaching women to belly dance and sharing my passion. It is a dance that requires co-ordination and energy, and I am constantly striving to improve my technique and style so that in turn I can pass this onto my dancers. Join me on that journey!
