Bellydance classes Somerset and Devon

Always wanted to bellydance? Or do you want to learn more advanced moves and Middle Eastern styles?

Shema, International Bellydancer, Writer & Musician, provides Tuition, Workshops and Events in the UK, including weekly classes in Somerset (near Taunton).

Beginners' classes focus on Egyptian 'bellydance' but there are also workshops for all levels on various styles of Arab dancee, from Bellydance to folklore, as well as flexibility and fitness, prop balancing and floor work.

Shema takes the safety of all students very seriously, so will spend time on correct posture and on building up the muscles to create strong and safe movements.

The basis of tuition is in Egyptian Bellydance which is now considered the 'home' of modern Bellydance. This is an elegant and beautiful style which dancers can adapt to suit their own abilities and personality.

Self-confidence is one of the most important elements of this dance and can take time to develop so performing is not obligatory but there will be opportunities to perform for any students who wish to progress to public shows.

We aim to encourage students to appreciate the subtleties of Middle Eastern music and how to express those through the dance with joy and elegance- this is achieved through Shema sharing her own experience, expertise and love of this exhilarating dance.

The beauty of Bellydance is that it is suitable for everyone, regardless of age, shape, size, fitness level and even injuries can be worked around. It is a great way to get/keep fit, meet new friends, catch up with old friends, discover your body and most of all, have fun!
