Drawing on almost two decades of performance, teaching and research, I offer classes that combine strong technical foundations with an appreciation of the rich history and diverse traditions of Oriental dance.
Students develop confidence, musicality, technique, expression and performance skills while enjoying a positive, encouraging and culturally informed learning environment. Whether your goal is fitness, artistic development or simply discovering the joy of dance, classes are designed to help every student build confidence, strong foundations and a genuine appreciation of this beautiful art form.
As a qualified Australian school teacher with a strong background in education, dance and cultural studies, I bring both professional teaching practice and extensive performance experience to every class.
My qualifications include:
I am also currently undertaking the Certificate IV in Dance Teaching & Management through Transit Dance, delivered in partnership with Ausdance Victoria, to further develop my professional practice as a dance educator.
Combining formal teaching qualifications with extensive performance experience enables me to create structured, engaging and inclusive classes suitable for students of all backgrounds.
A new 10-week Beginner Belly Dance Course will commence in Term 4, 2026.
Classes will be held at two Melbourne locations, providing flexibility for students to attend the venue most convenient for them.
