learn to dance step by step
from absolute beginner to performance level should you wish
This beautiful improvisational style is a modern form of belly dance, inspired by the folkloric dances of the Middle East, North Africa and India with further inspiration from Spanish flamenco, which weaves together mysteriously slow sensual movements with earthy energetic steps - the effect is stunning with no need to remember choreography
Instead the dancers learn to lead and follow, using a ‘language’ of steps, cues and gestures to ‘talk’ to each other
and tell each other what will happen, creating an inclusive collaborative team of dancers all working as one
It’s fun, sociable, a great way to get fit and can help improve core stability, self-esteem and confidence no matter
your age, shape or size – it really is a workout for mind, body and soul
Classes happen live in real-time so you can ask questions and everyone is able to interact and dance
with each other.
Kelley does not record her classes because she feels passionately that it is important to dance and interact together as it happens. Using available technology to create a positive interactive experience which is as near to 'real-life' as possible we are able to dance in duets, trios and quartets and work together in groups and even chorus. We may be dancing at home but we are not doing it alone. So take some time out just for you and come and join our online family of dancers from all over the planet
During and since the Covid pandemic we continue to enjoy the security
that our online classes provide giving us continuity, stability, togetherness and a unifying experience.
No it's not the same as dancing together in real-life but we're 'absobloodylutely' loving it
With no geographic barriers we really can dance with anyone anywhere in the world.
