Stop for a minute and think

What do you feel when you dance?
What does learning to dance mean for you?

You’ve always loved dancing. You’re the queen of the Dance Hall when you go out.
All of your happiest memories involve dance and movement in some way.

Dance calms your mind, it’s your time to relax, to meditate. It is your moment with yourself.

Nevertheless you carry on your life, trapped into a routine. I am sure that you are in one of these situations:

Most of your days go like this:

Wake up early and run to work.
Eat a sandwich in half an hour.
Run back home and watch half chapter of your favourite tv series.
Fall exhausted into your bed.

You don’t know why, but half your life is spent on your job, and the other half with your coach.

Or you have already tried this:

Going to the gym
Handcraft classes.
Running by yourself.
Rugby lessons.
Write here your last try to escape the routine.

You always find an excuse not to show up and you never get really hooked on any activity.

My name is Zahida, I was born in Spain and almost 15 years ago I started to teach bellydance in Madrid. I'm currently living in London and I have resolved to start a Dance pandemic in this city.

I'm here to –through my bellydance lessons- help you recover your lost connection with your body, to teach you to find time for yourself and never ever give up dancing.

I've been teaching women like you since 2001 (more than 14 years!). Over the years I've worked successfully for dance studios, community centres, councils, gyms, universities, and elderly day centres. All of them called me again and again to ask me to come back and work with them.

I've already taught more than 200 women
(and some men)
of all ages, conditions and social classes
to enjoy bellydance entirety.

Bellydance lessons will bring you many benefits. Amongst others you will:

Have time for yourself.
Learn to move your body efficiently and elegantly.
Improve your health with a regular and moderate physical activity.
Strengthen your pelvic floor
Increase your self esteem
Have fun
Decrease or even stop menstrual pains.

Develop your flexibility (at last!)
Activate your brain
Feel joyful and energetic
Open your ears to new music styles
Feel that you are capable of anything.
Overcome stage fright
Take part in a community of beautiful women

In short, dancing will make you happier.

The first day I got into a class I felt unconfident and I fell in love with her. Because of the way she explains, expresses, observes, and for the closeness she shows for me. She made me feel very supported and sheltered to express what I had inside -dance-. [...]
I remember the good vibes of her classes - they were funny, enjoyable, with a lot of content and very productive.

[...] She has taught me that I can do whatever I want, and whatever I imagine or propose to myself, I am capable of doing it. Thanks to her I have self confidence and have lost part of my shyness. [...]
