Sarah Garrish
Sarah Swirled Belly Dance is a small local company based in Preston. The company was established in 2009 after the owner (Sarah!), had obtained a JWAAD Safe Delivery of Belly Dance Classes, which is accredited by the OCNNER and equal to an 'A' level. However, it wasn't until 2010 after Sarah moved her weekly classes to Penwortham, a much larger catchment area than the one she previously taught in, that the business started to be established.
Sadly, in 2019, the class in Penwortham dwindled and Sarah ended up having to fold, much to her disappointment. However, in December that same year she was invited to teach classes at MPower Yoga Studio in Leyland, which she agreed to. This has, so far, proven to be a good move.
Sarah believes that to become a better teacher, you need to continue to develop yourself as well as others, and so she continues to develop herself by taking part in performance projects and attending workshops around the country. She is signed onto the Personal Development Course through JWAAD (Josephine Wise Academy of Arabic Dance).
One-to-one lessons
Group Classes
Weekly Beginners Classes
My beginners classes are designed for students new to belly dance. They will continue their journey and begin to learn more moves, how to link them, and how to dance.
I have two classes on offer at present:
6pm - 7pm
OR
8.20pm - 9.20pm
I am currently asking that all students book six lessons in advance as I am still operating social distancing and have therefore reduced class numbers. The cost is £35 for 6 classes.
Booking can be done via my website: www.sarahswirledbellydance.com
Please note: If you would like to attend classes but you know in advance that you are unable to make all six, please get in touch and I can adjust the price accordingly.
It is recommended that you attend a Starter Course before joining these classes.

Relevant Experience
I am always trying to improve my own dancing ability by attending workshops and belly dance events whenever possible.
I have also taken and passed the JWAAD Foundation in Safe Teaching course which explores Anatomy, Health and Safety, Safe Warm Ups, Lesson Planning, etc.
I am also a member of the JTA (JWAAD Teachers' Association), an organisation which has been established to promote the highest standards in belly dance, the high quality teaching of the dance, and to encourage its members to excel in providing their students with a safe and inspirational learning experience.
