You are Invited to RADIANT RAQS 2024

    BECOME A BELLYDANCE PROFESSIONAL WITH DEEP INSIGHTS INTO CORRECT TECHNIQUE, IMPROVED TEACHING SKILLS, QUALITY PERFORMANCE & SEAMLESSLY INTERWEAVE HEALING PRACTICES INTO YOUR TEACHING.

    YOU WILL DRAMATICALLY DEVELOP & REFINE YOUR PERSONAL ARTISTRY & BELLYDANCE CAREER DIRECTION WITH ENRICHED LEVELS OF EXPRESSION, COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE, & KNOWLEDGE OF CULTURE, SOMATICS & MUSICALITY.

    Welcome to my immersive live training at the beautiful Blue Lotus Room in Perth. I'm excited to share the latest developments in the A-Z Methodology, coupled with the deep, somatic, musical and cultural benefits to wellbeing and strength for dancers wishing to enhance their career in this wonderful art.

    My passion for bellydance began at the age of 17, and at 18 Bellydance helped my body and spirit heal for a traumatic life-threatening car accident. Since I started teaching, from the age of 19, my teaching has been guided intensively with ENERGY - to get dancers feeling a deeper, more authentic sensing of their whole body's inner landscape & how to radiate their energy outwards into the world.

    Many healing modalities interface with the A-Z Methodology, creating a wholistic system for teachers to expand in their preferred direction. I'm dedicated to my development as a teacher and mentor, constantly updating my own training in Egyptian dance, Music & Rhythms, Somatics, Fitness and Anatomy, Meridian therapy, Qi Gong, and wellbeing practices. I've trained many teachers & performers to embrace their own energetic strengths! My mentors are all pioneers and excel in their field, including Mahmoud Reda, Farida Fahmy and Somatic professor, Dr Martha Eddy.

    As dancers, we RADIATE, that's what allows us to capture & enjoy the musical moment so beautifully. You can take any choreography & own it when your own essence shines, & improvising becomes easy. It's been a privilege to have shared these happy moments with so many dancers. If anyone is interested in a week of LIVE training this summer in PERTH, Western Australia, I'm running a Bellydance Teacher & Performer intensive 4-10 Jan 2024. Perth dance sisters are happy to offer rooms to travelling guests.
