Jade Belly Dance

Classes

Jade Belly dance holds classes in the Bellingen, Repton, Bonville and Coffs harbour (NSW, Australia) areas during school terms. Jade is also available for private dance classes by appointment. Jade specialises in almost all styles of Bellydance including tribal but has a particular love of polynesian fusion, zills (finger cymbals) and sword balancing. Don’t worry though, if you are a beginner you don’t need to go near the swords!!

KIDS CLASSES INFO

Let your child learn creative movement with a Middle Eastern dance flavour. With dance, games, rhythm, music and props it is always lots of fun! Jade is certified Active after school coach with the Australian Sports Commission, this involves training as well as assessment as to one’s ability to teach children. Numbers in this class are strictly limited and while we have a few places available, bookings are advised.  Contact Jade at jadebellydance@hotmail.com or phone her on 02 66554896.

The video below is a bit of fun. This is a trailer I made of a little bit of footage from one of my kids classes. We only spent a few minutes on the filming (because we had  a class to get on with!), so it is not meant to be a work of art.  It is not meant to be for public comment  (unless you want to say its cute!). I won an ipad2 and thought I would make the kids giggle and feel special, so I have used imovies trailers. The Ha- babies is my little attempt at a bi-lingual pun. Habibi is Arabic for my darling or my love and these are my little darlings that I love! If you want your children to join the fun, come and join our classes!

Jade and Students at World Bellydance Day

Teaching kids

Unsolicited quotes from students (and other bellydance teachers) :

Thank YOU for that lovely term of belly dancing. I think you have a natural talent as a teacher. You understand the insecurities involved in doing something new and a bit challenging and you work with those in a kind, understanding and yet encouraging manner. You tune in, you’re thorough, you listen and you adjust. All great qualities in a teacher.

Love Jane

Thanks for an wonderful workshop. Only wish your studio wasn’t so far from me. – Marsha 2016
