Classes and workshops are fun with a strong emphasis on good technique. Nicola specialises in teaching technique well in a clear and simple style. Good technique is the core of belly dancing, mastering the basics makes harder moves easier and also leads to great posture & strong abdominals for everyday life.
Nicola also has training in other dance styles particularly salsa which adds a different edge to routines taught in class. Students are also taught about choreographing their own routines and supported through the process from finding the music to performance and beyond.
We host regular workshops with top teachers and bi annual haflas where students can show off what they have learnt and gain greater confidence.
