Hipnotic School of Belly DanceI am excited to announce the arrival of the Hipnotic School of Belly Dance, and more details can be found here. Hipnotic School of Belly
Dance is a cooperative of local dancers who teach, host events and run
performance groups throughout the Reading area.
Between
us we teach a range of styles of belly dance across the Reading area
for students of different levels and with a variety of dance
aspirations. In
addition to regular classes we run a regular dance showcase event at
the Jazz Cafe at the Madejski Stadium, host workshops and other dance
events in Reading. We are also all part of the local performance troupe
Covert Bling, as well as accomplished solo performers.
All
teachers are well-connected professionals, fully insured and competent
with many years dance experience and expertise in several dance styles
and the use of a variety of props. We are dedicated to giving our
students a positive dance experience, and a variety of performance
opportunities.
Hipnotic
HIPNOTIC is a unique
event that aims to
bring Belly Dance to a wider population as well as experienced dancers, all in the great venue at the Jazz Cafe at the Madejski Stadium, and coorganised by Blackwillow.
A very
reasonable £7 entry fee gets you access to two classes from a choice of three different styles of belly dance, watch great
performances
and have a dance yourself as well as the opportunity to shop for belly dance goodies.
Or you could just enjoy a
drink from the bar and just sit and watch everyone else doing all the
hard work?

2010/2011 Classes
Classes continue at Waterloo Meadows Children's Centre, not far from the centre of Reading.
Some of the students have now been with me for two years and have entered the world of the Improver dancer.
However, all
classes are tailored to welcome beginners and if you are thinking of coming along then please do so. There will be parts of the class where you will be encouraged to try out what's been learned in that session whilst the Improver dancers will be asked to try and add a new layer (or two, or three....).
We will continue to work with props in the Middle Eastern class as well as exploring the dual worlds of choreographed dances and improvisation.
Students in the Improvised Tribal class will continue to work on known moves, add new ones to their repertoire and continue to dance Improvised Tribal belly dance as a group.
