'more than dance'

In tonight's beginner level class we added beautiful baskets into some of the Global Caravan foundation steps we have learnt so far.
Students enjoyed exploring this prop and said it felt timeless and symbolic. One dancer said the class had chased her 'Monday Blues' away.
How good is that!

Here's a little clip from a drill I did with my lovely Birdwing beginners🦋

B is for Bendigo, Birdwingers, beauty, blossoming, best times, blessings and Barry St shenanigans!🦋

Reflecting on a wonderful weekend of connection, movement, friendship and dance at Bendigo Tribal Fest 2016.

So grateful to every person who attended or was involved in making it such a fantastic event. Especially ALICA @solarisdancecollective whose generous, grounded, inclusive and innovative energy sets the ideal festival vibes ❤️

It was an honour and pleasure to be invited to teach a workshop alongside fab GC teachers and also to be a participant too. So much inspiration in each workshop.
Bravo ladies! And thankyou for the beautiful comments and feedback people gave 🙏

The dedication, creativity and passion on display at the soiree was next level! So much to take in and remember. Well done to EVERY dancer, you all rocked and I just love seeing the magic of women united and connected through dance💃

Being with my fellow Birdwingers
@daretobebulb @myheartknowstheway @shazaaa_2000
was for me, the big highlight😍
We see each other weekly for dance classes, but having this time to connect, share stories, laughter and conversations strengthened our bond and friendship in a very special way. Love you guys and our tribe!!!

And @ginger_hips although yoy weren't there in person, you were very much present in our hearts 💞

🦋Saturday shimmy delight with these beautiful Birdwing dancers🦋
It's been a while since I ran a dance workshop in Cairns and today's was such a lovely gathering.
We reviewed Global Caravan foundation steps, and learnt a few new ones too😍
We explored different formations such as turning a rotating circle inwards and back out, lines and fades...
And how knowing the cues and patterns of these formations allows dancers tne beautiful simplicity of working with a few select moves and really showcasing them in different ways💜
Discussion about technique, GC history, tribal styling and GC events were enjoyed too while we paused for a half time break💃
All in all a fabulous afternoon and so grateful to be able to share this dance and moments of movement with others💜
I thought about capturing some video footage of the workshop but was too engaged in the present moment, so just a little snap of us at the end💃

Reading this and intrigued?
The next round of beginner level classes starts in May. Plus stay tuned for my next workshop. It's going to be marvellous darlings!!!😍

Words from Amanda, one of my beautiful Birdwing beginners:

'I love my Monday nights at Birdwing Tribal Bellydance so much. Moving my body, reclaiming my power, and dancing with some really beautiful and incredible women. Tribal belly dance feeds my soul every single time and has been one of the most significant things that has helped me to feel deep healing and self love.

Completely unplanned, but somehow last night we also arrived dressed as the elements. Fire, earth, water.

Sometimes the universe choreographs the dance. 🔥🌿💧'

Thankyou Amanda for your beautiful words and bringing such positive energy to each class. It's a joy to have you 😊

Tribal in the Tropics 2025:
Reflecting on what was a most marvellous weekend despite not feeling 100% for the occasion.
Even though I felt I was in a dream haze of flu symptoms I am so glad I got to be there and witness all of the amazing and inspiring performances (what a joy!) and partake in the brilliant workshops with Nina, Deirdre, Aysha, Sienna and Richelle. They were all so engaging and I loved how each one reflected the diversity of our dance and each teacher's individual style.
What a pleasure to finally meet and dance with @curlygirlj Jamie and @hipswithattitudedance Deirdre. I hope we get the opportunity again!
I missed doing any crafting with B this year but we did share a lovely little dance duet together in the workshops.
Thankyou once again Nina for bringing everything and everybody together.
We absolutely love our TT festival and YOU!
Here's to 2026 and also Fremantle and Bendigo too! GC Dance rocks! ♥

We now have a little pause in classes as we rehearse (and recover!) from our annual Tribal in the Tropics festival💃

Classes resume from Monday 4th August, which is also the start of my next new beginner course. There are still a couple of spots left if you are ready to get your shimmy on with us.
Message to secure your spot! 💃

Hi folks!
I have recently been undergoing some more Global Caravan Tribal Bellydance teacher training and part of the course directs you to review and reflect on your teaching business.
For the past several years I have been without a dedicated website and have been using Facebook and Instagram as my point of contact/promotion for news and classes.
I did have a dance website prior but it didn't seem to generate much interest. But having had my Pilates website up and running for 6+years I am much more familiar with how to set things up more effectively.

So if you are reading this so far, YOU are the right person!
I have just finished my newly birthed, fresh & vibrant website and would love for you to check it out and tell me what you think. Including any typos, broken links or things not aligning properly on mobile etc. - on Android devices things appear as they should but I am unsure about iPhone/Apple devices. If you have the time and one of these please let me know if it looks okay on there.

Oh and if you wanna come dance with me- cos that is what this whole sparkly website is all about- them fill in the lovely online form on the website, send me a DM or accost me in the street!😀

New beginner course starts: 04/08/25
Ongoing beyond beginners- Tues nights at 6pm (from August)
