Bellydance Bop

For the kids…

Belly dance is a great way for kids to learn different movement and have fun in the process.

During boook week Reynella Primary School invited me to be part of their Living Library. Over the course of the day I was “borrowed” by four classes from year 1 to year 7.
In each class the kids learned about the history of belly dance and had a chance to use some belly dance props, from fan veils and fans to canes and swords. Each of the classes then joined in on a mini belly dance workshop, learning basic moves and shimmies.

Another fun way for kids to experience belly dance is with a belly dance birthday party. At Heidi’s party recently, I performed for the girls and then they all dressed up in hip scarves and veils and learned to belly dance and played some dancing games. As always the veil-red-rover was a big hit and even her big brother and his friend joined in.

Alana’s birthday party

After lovely afternoon at Alana’s birthday party, I was invited to be a living library resource at Reynella Primary School.

It was great fun having the kids come into the library to borrow a living resource for their classrooms. The kids loved learning some basic belly dance moves and having the chance to be photographed trying out some of the props used in belly dance. The boys especially loved balancing the swords!

End of the dancing year…

To finish of dancing for the year, I had a wonderful time performing at a birthday party for a gorgeous young lady called Pola this morning. She and her friends were a great audience and did a fab job of joining in and enjoying the dancing.

Classes have wrapped for the year and we’ve had a few bubbles to celebrate all the good times we’ve had over the year. I’ve had a great time teaching the Bridgewater classes and have loved dancing with the wonderful ladies who have shared Thursday nights with me. Can’t wait to dance with you all next year!
