Inspire Bellydance

On Monday nights at around 6pm, a dusty old room at the top of the Mosman Scout Hall is filled with the gentle sound of hundreds of tiny bells, the loud beat of egyptian drums, feet chasséing across wooden floorboards, and occasionally — something like a hyena being strangled (Ululation — a high pitched howl used to express celebration).
Felicia is a wonderful teacher, and as humble as she is kind. She breaks down each movement into manageable pieces, so whether you’re an experienced dancer, or someone who (like me) turns has trouble distinguishing left from right and arms from legs — you’ll get something from the classes.
Classes are welcoming to people of all ages and body types. You don’t need a body like Shakira — so if your hips don’t lie don’t sweat it. And if you’re a skinny mini — don’t be fooled into thinking you need a ‘belly’ to belly dance either. It’s a low impact dance that anyone can learn. You will discover muscles you didn’t know you had and walk airily like a prima ballerina for days afterwards.
This location is great for North Shore ladies — close to the Mosman ferry wharf and busses. If Mosman is too far — there are classes held on different nights at different locations across Sydney. Check the website for classes in the inner west and eastern suburbs.
