Bellysimmo Belly Dance

Welcome all to the new Blog for Bellysimmo... the fun and vibrant way to dance and make new acquaintances!

I started teaching Belly Dance after being introduced to the art form at, would you believe, work. Working for a large employer has it's benefits, one of them was the promotion of healthy activities for staff on campus, and when I discovered a new belly dance class was being taught in the canteen after work I just had to try it! My first introduction was great fun, with a fabulous teacher and a great group of ladies to dance with, I looked forward to the class and soon fell in love with it.

I discovered that belly dance brings with it enormous benefits, such as building and strengthen muscle tone, improving overall fitness, reducing stress levels and increasing laughter lines! It's also a great way to be creative through choreography and costume making.

My love for the dance soon led me to teach, after much encouragement from my friends, and I am now lucky enough to have established wonderful groups of ladies who enjoy their hour of fun every week and who look forward to the new routines and the haflas (parties) in the pipeline.

My aim for the classes is to bring some fun and enjoyment into our increasingly busy and pressurised lifetsyles, enhance a vibrant social culture and raise money to aid charities that mean a lot to the groups.

By teaching belly dance and other forms such as bhangra/bollywood, tribal belly dance and veil work, I aim to show that exercise can be fun a liberating and there is always a way to escape from the daily grind in a safe and supportive environment.

Belly dance is a great way to keep fit and is suitable for all ages and experiences. Basically, for anyone who wishes to give it a go!

Great News!

After a long absence, at last, great news! Class is starting again this Spring (2011) and, not only am I starting one class, but two classes. Thursday 5:45pm-6:45pm Shrawley Village Hall (starting on 7 April) Fridays 6pm-7pm Bishops Wood Environmental Centre, Stourport-on-Severn (starting 6 May) Spaces are limited so contact me asap if you're interested in joining! I'm hoping my ankle will hold up to the task but I'm looking forward to getting back into it and meeting lots of new people in class. It'll be great to hear the coins jingling and spend time having fun and learning new moves in the new groups. If you know of anyone who's interested in joining either the Thursday class or the Friday class (or both) then please pass this information to them. I look forward to seeing you there for a shimmy!
