"Life is short and there will always be dirty dishes, so let's dance.”
- James Howe, Totally Joe
It doesn't matter what shape, size, age, or gender you are - bellydance makes everyone feel great. If you're an absolute beginner looking to start dancing, or an experienced bellydancer looking to expand your repertoire and self-expression, you've come to the right place. Classes are supportive, encouraging and will keep you inspired.
You can learn a range of bellydance styles, with classes teaching technique, choreography and improvisation in Sha'abi, Folk-Baladi, Sai'idi, Golden Era, Reda-Styled Folkloric, and various Fusions from Dubstep through to Swing.
Classes are taught by Sam, and held at Kingsford Smith School in Holt, and our Home Studio in Macgregor. Both venues have access to water, bathrooms and mirrors.
If other commitments are keeping you from classes, or you just prefer one-on-one tuition, we also offer private lessons in our Home Studio, or Online.
Some Term 4 Classes are continuing work started in Term 3. New students for those classes may prefer to wait until Term 1 2026 to join when we start working on a new choreography, style and techniques. Check the class descriptions for further details.
