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.

Performances – Perry Park Plus

The last few weeks have been busy for the Bridgewater Babes with a performances across Adelaide from Port Noarlunga to Woodside.

Some of the Bridgewater students put on a Friday night performance for the residents at Perry Park aged care. The show went down very well with the residents and the staff.

A Bollywood dance session for the community at Inverbrackie the following week was another opportunity to dance for an enthusiastic audience. Some of the songs were familiar to the audience members and many of the kids – and even some of the adults – joined in the dancing.
