Students Comments

 

 

I have been dancing with Beverley for two years now and she really is a dedicated and inspirational teacher. Since attending Beverley’s classes I feel I have grown in confidence as a dancer, learnt a myriad of new dancing techniques and also been encouraged to develop my own individual style. Bev always maintains a high energy, positive equilibrium in every class and you leave feeling inspired and galvanized! As a person and teacher she is 'A Star' who always has time for you, dedicated to dancing and beautiful inside and out.

I have been dancing with Bev for 6 years now, and can't imagine life now without my regular dance sessions. When I went nervously along to my first class I was bowled over by watching Bev shimmy, (and I still haven't seen anyone other than famous Egyptian dancers who can shimmy like she can!) Bev is a warm hearted and great teacher, who takes a real interest in her students, supporting them in becoming the best dancers that they possibly can be. I never thought I would ever perform in public and I have, which is all down to Bev.

i started  belly dance classes around summertime 2010 - I was a complete beginner with no insight into what I was letting myself into, but needless to say pleasantly surprised. I was immediately put at ease by a few introductory words by the teacher Bev. It has helped me to express myself through the art of belly dancing and it has also helped me to develop my confidence in opening up to my feminine side. The class is of all abilities but the teaching is delivered in such a way that it compliments all levels.

Thank you Bev for your amazing teaching skills and making the class fun and enjoyable.

I joined Bev's dance class three years ago, a complete beginner. I was the one that never got up to dance at parties and when forced into it always felt uncomfortable and awkward. I have learned so much and gained confidence not only with dancing but my inner self. I changed my dress style and lost weight! Bev is a wonderful teacher, makes gorgeous outfits, which are available to purchase, and the other ladies in her class are friendly and supportive. What more can you ask for!

Arabic Dance / Bellydance Is My Passion

 

 

 

I feel so fortunate to be in a position to be able to follow my passion.   I love to have fun, laugh and be silly, that’s the way I am.

I teach and dance from the heart. I hope to strike the right balance of fun and teaching in my classes, I do my very best to make everyone relax, laugh and learn all at the same time.

I want you to enjoy this experience as much as I enjoy teaching and hopefully in a relaxed and fun way

Come along, have a go, this could be the start of something life changing, if not it certainly will be a laugh.

If you choose one of my classes and want more information please do not hesitate to ask.

Twice a year I hold an evening of performance when each class I teach will have the opportunity to come and show case what they have learned doing group dances or solos in front of my other classes friends and family. This is not compulsory but it helps develop performance skills, there is no pressure to be involved if you prefer not to be.
